MSc in Finance or MBA ?

Hello, I am a 4th-year student at in french business school, my school has a good ranking in Europe but lacks exposure in the US, which makes it pretty hard for me to break into the industry. I am looking for a way to concretize or solidify my profile to increase my chances of getting offers and passing job applications in the US. (Considering that I have a decent GPA of 3.3\4 and previous internships in corporate finance and asset management in Europe and Saudi Arabia) I have 2 relevant options: an MSc in a well-known university right after graduation or an MBA program after a few years of experience. Does anyone know which strategy is more efficient?
