Which Master is right for me?

Dear Monkes, 

heres my situation: I am doing a BA in Business Management via online degree in GER, hardcore non-target and am in the final year now (will likely graduate April 24). I am opting for a sales career in the markets sector with the possibility to later switch to the buyside with seniority (although this is more a "dream"of mine and its totally optional). I chose the online degree as it allows me to do more internships parallel, already been in AM Sales, Big4 Consulting and 3 S&T internships (no BB though, but solid banks with some reputation). My grades are ok but not exceptional (upper second class or 3.3 gpa). I am taking GMAT atm and im confident ill write something around 650.

I consider doing a master mainly because of compensating my non-target undergrad and benefit from those career services, as I am not capable to get into any BB S&T programs with my undergrad degree (tried that before). I would ofc like the master to be more markets oriented, but I also dont mind if its mainly about corporate finance (in the end, the masters worth is about the brand, not the programm's content). As I am partly french myself and I see the recent shifts in the S&T industry, I would certainly like to have exposure to opportunities not only in Frankfurt but also in Paris, ideally also Singapore. I dont care about LDN placement however.

What MiF would you recommend? I have found WHU+EMLyon Double Degree/ Essec/ ESCP MiF or MiM/ EDHEC MiFinancialEnginnering/Paris Dauphine 203 (weak placement in Germany I suppose). Should I have a stellar GMAT I would try HEC, LBS and Bocconi aswell. Do you think I have a good plan? 

Id appreciate any oppinion, thanks guys :)
