Wondering if UK finance masters can bring me a job in IBD

I'm an off-cycle intern in BB at capital markets, and im gonna apply SA 2024 this summer. I wanna get a job in UK or HK first, but im not sure if they hire me now cuz my college isnt that internationally famous. So i thought going 1yr master in uk for 2024, and apply SA 2025 with that degree but not sure if this plan makes sense.. really wanna start IBD career in UK or HK (i guess US doesnt hire non-american degree holder). I was thinking LSE MSc Finance, LBS MFA, and Oxford MSc Financial econ. Its really hard decision with high cost.. could you please give me any advice for me?
