Job hunt with an oxbridge degree versus doing another MSc Business Analytics at Imperial

Hi everyone, hope you guys are having a great start to the year! I discovered a passion for consulting quite late and practically missed all the deadlines for T2/MBB and even strong boutique firms. I will be graduating in July 2021. My question is that will doing an MSc Business Analytics degree at Imperial make me a weaker candidate (reputation-wise) compared to just applying as an Oxbridge graduate for the next application cycles?
