Masters in finance

Hello guys, 

I come from a non target uni -acc and finance undergrad (1st class), I have internship experience at big 4 in audit UK then got a full time offer (worked there for 11 months).  But I want a career pivot into IB/finance, also I am an international student from Uganda. Would a masters in finance from target really guarantee a job offer after?

If you're already working in B4, as an international, probably best to just try and transfer from Audit into TAS or into IB itself from there. As French-monkey says, its random. You're competing with every undergrad for the same jobs and you've got no gurantee of better out of the mfin.
