One of the things my colleague did was - took a rotation from his field of work into Structured finance and technology services. I think this gave him a bit of diversification from a pure number crunching arena to more of a consultant kinda role. This was viewed very favorably by the Adcom.
This could also be complemented by a location/country shift (as in my case)
Also, extra circ's help. Typically CPA's (in big4s) tend to have no life outside of work.
Post Mba - Trying to transition into more of "consulting" role. SmallPvt Equity/hedge funds also interest me.
I am a part time trader so i would like to do something around that.
I m sure more opps will come to light as i attend school. Just starting for my Gmat for now.
Would be to interesting to know the tgt schools for fellow CPA's and Big4 peer grp.
Cheers!

Also, just curious but what do you want to do post-mba?
