Second Master

Hello. I am currently based in Eastern Europe and have about 4 years experience in AM firm. I hold Master Degree in Finance (GPA of 3.5) from non-target uni (although SG and BAML are visible), that is a target in country I currently reside. Also, I am Level II candidate in CFA Program. Now I am hesitating whether doing second master from well-known University is necessary if I wanted to move to Western Europe. What would you do? I am considering analyst jobs in AM, HF and PE firms.
