Decision Time - Need Help!

Hi
I have an ISB admit for Co16 R1.
With 9.5 years of experience under my belt I am debating joining as my level of experience is almost double than that of class majority.
Any ex alum/ other views on the thought of joining at this level of experience?
Any words of advice much appreciated

TIA

Inequality

Is m+z>0?
1) m-3z >0?
2) 4z-m>0?

When I solved this using both statements together, I got 3z<m<4z. But this means m = 3.5z (say)
If z is negative then m + z = 4.5z which is negative
And if z is positive then m+z = 4.5z which is positive

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
