You sound like a better fit for a MiF now and then an EMBA in ten years. The Cambridge MiF is quite compressed and doesn't have the same depth for developing skills.  

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I think MiF LBS will benefit for my future career as a financial professional. However, MBA at Cambridge is also fantastic course to explore other optional career choice and still provides elective in finances. So, i feel a little bit confuse for making decision. However, thank u again for ur advice. 

Focus on the career step you want to make. The MiF allows you to take 21 courses in finance from a huge list of electives across the MiF, MFA, MSc, MBA, PhD and Sloan fellowship. At Judge, I don't think there are even enough finance courses for you to take both the finance concentration and all your electives in finance: https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2021-02-mba-elective-list.pdf 

Thank you again. I will think about it really well. How's about the reputation? Is it quite the same for both courses in terms of getting job opportunities? &any other advice is really welcome.

The MiF has higher placement, of course, because it is focussed on a specific role. 

Thank you very much for your advice.
