I don't intend to stay (or even start) in engineering, would most likely try for banking ops, but just would like to know how much value a CFA would add to my resume and whether it will be beneficial to take it now.

Please advise!
Whole CFA certification takes around 2-3 years and u need to be in a financial-related position to be granted CFA. CFA would NOT add any value unless u r in a position to provide sound financial information to customers. that's what the whole CFA is about - certified to provide financial analysis.
