SQL or Financial Modelling- which is better in 2025

hi everyone, 22M and 2025 August CFA l3 candidate here. I dont think i have a single usable skill outside of some avg excel so want to change that. As said i am currently also studying for my cfa so i am already pretty stretched which means i can only do either of these meaningfully ( or any other third skill which you think is more important). Planning to do Financial Modelling from CFI (FMVA) or SQL from Coursera.

I've been actively applying to finance jobs, Financial Modelling is the key skill that is being asked.

Yes i have noticed that but these jobs require prior work ex specifically in FM. Will they see a certificate from CFI as genuine?
