Pros and Cons of Doing an MSc. Management

I graduated with a 2:1 in Accountancy and Finance from a non-target Scottish university in 2019 and I have a little over a year's experience of working in deals advisory for a mid-tier firm in the Middle East. 

Unfortunately, I'm unhappy in my current position and I want to make a move into maybe strategy consulting but I'm really not sure if an MSc Management would help me with that.  

I've shortlisted UCL, Kings, City, LSE, and Edinburgh for now. 

Would love to have everyone's opinion on my choice of school and whether doing a MSc. Management is a smart career choice in terms of opportunities? Would you suggest any other university or course?
