There are m,any areas in finance and banking. If you are keen in the treasury, quantitative risk management and derivatives, then financial engineering training is vital. However, if you are keen in analysing financial statements, the business of companies, equity / bond analysis, then a CFA is more relevant. In financial engineering, you will capitlise on computing and advanced probability and statistical methods to solve problem (without possibly understanding the business of the corporates that you are analysing). So it all depends on which area of banking you prefer.
CFA is a self-study certification well regarded in asset management industry (at least used to be).
mfe is a degree program that you can do part-time or full-time. it will get you into quantitative finance (or computational finance) roles, which are related to trading in the capital markets, eg you assist traders by churning out useful spreadsheets. very different from asset management. more brain power and less soft skills needed.
