Masters Degree in the UK as an American

Hey all. I am thinking about doing a masters degree in the UK (I am American) for various reasons (money, time etc). However, my grades are not good enough to get into the top tier schools (Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, St. Andrews). I was just curious as to your thoughts whether or not firms (national and international) view a masters in the UK and less than in the US. Will I be able to find work with a UK masters degree back home in the US? I plan on studying international business management as I would like to work outside of the US, and possibly for a multinational. I would like to think multinationals would not care as much as they have people from all over the world. Please let me know your opinions and thoughts

To me, a masters degree in the UK is cheaper, quicker, and just about the same as a US one, and I don't see why a firm in the US would object to a kid who went overseas to get a masters degree
