MBA Cambridge or MiF LBS

I would like to inquire further information for making decision. Which school will provide better position to work in IB/PE/VC in terms of reputation, overall course, alumni, etc?

Background : CPA and financial consultant focusing on financial due diligence (still not have advanced finance knowledge and skills) & live in asia

Goals : IB/PE/VC but also open for future job opportunities

Any advice is really welcome. If u can provide pros and cons of each programme, please do so. Thank u so much in advance. I am really appreciated every comment and advice.

LBS MiF for sure!! You will have to explain more often to unstructured recruiter what the MiF programme is, as its quite unique. Nevertheless, for Banking it does the job, and it gives you the opportunity to network with LBS MBA candidates as well. However, if you are looking to get into PE right after an MBA/MiF, pre-industry /IB experience is required. Otherwise for VC, almost every firm prefers MBAs, due to strategy as opposed to only Finance.
