IB/AM from Swiss university?

Currently doing my bachelors in Economics & Management in University of Geneva (UNIGE). 

I would like to break into IB or AM or Growth Equity or Corporate Dev.


I was thinking of doing a MSc in Finance in a top university either in Europe or in the USA, but not sure what to do with thr current economic/immigration climate. 

Would going for a MSc in the UK make sense (OxBridge, LBS, LSE), or stay in Switzerland and go to HSG, or go to the USA and get into a top uni there (Columbia, Berkeley, NYU Stern)?

I was always told to do a masters in the country I want to work in after graduating, and all these finance sectors are the biggest in the US and UK. 

What should I do?

PS. Purely based on feasibility of getting into the program, getting a work visa, and getting a job straight after graduation
