Hi Bano,
Your GMAT is very strong, and that is a great start. I am not sure what your grades are, but between your GMAT and your CFA Level 2, you should be able to illustrate that you have the academic ability to succeed in the classroom. Your stats are just one part of the application though.
It is hard to gauge your work experience without knowing your accomplishments and impact you have made there, but your work experience does sound good. It is nice to see that you have already been promoted before leaving, and that you now work directly with management. In your resume and essays, be sure to show you have made an impact and demonstrated leadership at work. Ideally this will be supported by strong recommendation letters as well. It will also be important to explain why you want your MBA, and to also illustrate the skills you already have which are transferable. Be sure your story makes sense, and is realistic and specific.
Regarding extracurriculars, make sure to really emphasize your leadership roles you have taken on, if any, which will help you differentiate yourself.
You seem to have a chance at top schools, but they are extremely competitive, and each school simply does not have the room to admit all the world's qualified applicants. For that reason, I suggest apply to several schools, including reach, target and safety. Hopefully they will see that you have a compelling story and are someone who will add value to the classroom and community. Good luck to you!
