Thinking about hopping jobs next year to boost my MBA application since I feel the work experience/responsibilities are a little light. Any recommendations for areas and/or competencies to develop. I'm coming up on 5 years of work experience: 3 at a bank and 2 at a private debt fund.

For those of you who left Big4, how do you manage getting annual state CPE requirements completed for CPA ? Do you sign up for separate classes offered by private companies or is there 1 single provider that you subscribe ? Wondering how do you track that for multi year compliance and if requested by state for audit, how is that support / documentation provided ?

I would really appreciate some suggestions for roles that I should be applying for. I recently started my MBA though I'm still having trouble landing interviews and think I should be applying for different roles than I have been. My MBA concentration is global business, my BS was in management with a minor in professional writing. I've been working in cosmetics mainly on the customer service side, currently senior support for the CS team and have experience doing CS on social media.
