Inquiry about mid-low ranked MBA degree: is it worth it for my situation?

Hey guys,

I would like to ask your opinion on a choice that I have to make with regards to picking an MBA program.

First, a little on my background: Masters in Management student in a top continental Europe business school, target for IB and MBB consulting (although not accessible to me due to language barriers). In addition 2 years of WE during bachelors and 1 year of Big 4 consulting in gap year.

Goal: Work in consulting or corporate strategy/development in Europe or US/Canada.

I have the option of doing a dual degree with a few mid-low ranked business schools in US, Canada and UK (think top 50-100 of the Financial Times). For me it will involve doing and extra semester for the degree and paying only 30-50% of the tuition fee (for which I will need a loan).

With my MSc degree I would be able probably be able to get interviews with consulting firms in UK (only English required) but these would be for junior positions.
I believe that the mid-low ranked MBA degree would provide me the opportunity of getting a more senior position on a less reputable firm in the US/Canada, and also give me the time to apply for a work permit.

I would really like to hear your thoughts on my options and if I should do the MBA degree.

Thanks in advance for your time :).
