Will business MSC at prestige business school compensate for Business BSc at poor university?

Hello, I'm studying BSc Economics and Business in on of top local universities. However, this university isn't considered a prestige university within business field - its very known for its cognitive science, biology studies etc, but not that much for business.

As a result, i believe my business degree is less valuable than i perceived before. This means, that ''value vs opportunity cost'' ratio is higher in terms of continuing MSc. I am debating whether or not should I continue MSc, and if yes - where... I have 3 options:
1. Find a job after BSc
2. Continue MSc in same uni
3. Continue MSc in top 10 business school in the world

So the question is if a MSc in prestige business school will compensate for BSc from non-prestige university in terms of employer's perception and value in the job market?
