Hi all,

I am currently an in house counsel at an investment bank working a lot with IPO, debt offerings, structured finance and derivatives.

I am planning a carrer change in the near future (from lawyer to banker) and I would like to know if the Northwestern LLM + Certificate in Business Administration from Kellog may help me out in this process.

What do you guys think? Is it good enough a mini-MDA from Kellogg?

It is important to mentio that all classes are held together with MBA students so I believe it will also be great in terms of networking (MBA students + LLM students).

I do not want to wait another year with applivations, GMAT, etc.. and also don't wanto to spend 2 years in a MBA. (I am 34 right now).

Thanks in advance!!

I need help!!! Cheers

If you're making the transition to investment banking, I wonder why you would need an LLM.

Normally I would recommend biting the bullet and doing a full-time MBA program at a good school... But, depending on how much work experience you have - have you considered an EMBA program? They cater to people like you, with expertise and maturity.

Have you considered a distance learning program? In that case, you could retain your position and work at your own pace. I just read this article, could be useful for you:
