Hi Gilam and other members,

First I gotta congratulate You and all the members of the forum on their generous effort in providing vital and essential info. And now to business:

I want to study in London, as I aim to working in the city so I reckon I should focus on British business schools. I am 29, and spent the last 2 years in Melbourne, Australia working in Investment Banking (equity debt markets), after finishing my internship with one of the leading law firms in Tel Aviv. Prior to that I worked for 3 years as a bonds trader in one of the leading Israeli banks. I am a captain in the army (combat unit) and finished Tel Aviv University with LLB (score:80, as I was working full time), and have done significant community service while at Uni.

A few enquiries:

1. Without taking the GMAT, and without speculating on my future score, how would you asses my strength as a candidate for LBS? Can my overseas exp. could be leveraged to show a global prospective, commitment etc.?

2. What sorts of other options do I have in order to secure a good job in the city?

3. Considering application in sep 07, will I be considered a grandpa?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

שלום לכולם! הצטרפתי לפורום לפני כמה ימים והבנתי שאני צריך לספר קצת על עצמי, אז קודם כל כמה דברים כלליים:

אני בן 27, גר בת"א, כרגע מתמחה בעריכת דין, כצפוי לא סובל את זה אך הבסיס הלאה הוא טוב. אני אוהב מאד איגרוף, בישול, צלילה ושירה במקהלה!!!(באמת)

היום אני עובד במשרד עורכי דין, מהגדולים בארץ כמתמחה במשפט מסחרי, חברות וניירות ערך. האמת היא שאחרי 12-13 שעות עבודה אין לי כל כך הרבה במה להתעסק מלבד מעט שירה ואיגרוף

למדתי באוניברסיטת ת"א       סיימתי בממוצע 82

בצבא הייתי קצין ביחידת מודיעין כ-4.5 שנים

בשלב זה אני רק מתעניין באפשרות של MBA בחו"ל

האם השקעה של 100,000 דולר ויותר היום, תשתלם בעוד מס' שנים?

אני מקווה לתרום לקהילת הפורום לפחות 20 הודעות בשנה הקרובה

אז בהצלחה לכולם,

compactus

hi gilam,

at first i'd like to congratulate you and the other guys on the forum as you are doing a tremendous effort. i would like a brief assessment on my options regarding MBA. Naturally, i'm aware that it's very subjective and influenced by so many factors and criteria that it's almost impossible to give a defendant picture, but anyway…here are the highlights of my background and my career and study objectives:

background:

I'm m/27,curruntly i'm doing my 1 year internship at a top 10 israeli law firm, practicing corporate law, securities, Domestic and American financial markets and prospectuses/

I graduated from TAU faculty of Law with an average of ~80. Mostly due to the fact that i worked full time(2 years) as a foreign securities trader in one of the large Israeli banks. Apart from that i participated in managing a special program sponsored by an american fund which allowed underprivileged teenagers to learn the basics of the Law. prior to that i worked at my first year at a start up company as information analyst.

Army service – officer, 4 years (1 keva) with the intelligence – managing and commanding a team with vast responsibilities.

apart from that i spent alot of time traveling so i might add that to my cultural background. Apart from English i have good command in Spanish and some german.

Objectives:

My main interests are Investment banking/Securities Dealing/hedge funds. I think i will be able to bring added value combining exp. background in Law

and of course a future MBA. My first choice would be LBS but of course good American univ. are always in the ball game. Haven't done my gmat but i wouldn't expect 700, being realistic i would say 650-670 is more likeable. with these kind of background where do you think i might be excepted? and which schools are the best for me regarding my future intentions?

i'd like to add that the earliest i could start is at the age of 29, is it considered fine?

thanks for reading such a long post but i did try to pour in as much info as possible.

Nitzan
