Year abroad at lesser known school

Hey folks,

Went through SA '21 recruiting and got good interviews which I was unable to convert to an offer. I will delay graduation to re-apply, so I can either go for a year abroad (preferred for financial reasons) or an MSc in Finance. I'm at a target in the UK, and the options I have are all in Asia/Australia and aren't traditional IB targets. Will I be disadvantaged if I go to a non-target for my year abroad as compared to an MSc at LSE/Oxbridge/LBS?

Thanks!
