"(I'm about to embark on an MBA, and want to be in a position to quickly utilize it when I'm done)."
Why are you working at cross purposes? If you are looking for a career in IT implementation, then you can definitely spend the next 3 or 4 years of it at Accenture, increasing your IT experience. But you say you want to get graduate education in business. There's a definite disconnect here. Are you planning to move out of IT and into some kind of management or business related career. Not only aren't you going to learn anything here that will help you in such a career, an MBA at Accenture is sort of like putting a sign on your back saying, "go ahead. Kick me!"
So I'm a little confused.

hmmm. well jakyj, you raise an intersting point. The MBA ideas are right now preliminary, but recently through the course of work i've found myself getting very narrowly focused on the technical side of technology, and i'm thinking I'd like to, at some point, deal with some of the strategy/business angles in relation to technology. If accenture's not a good place for an MBA, that's fine because I wont have it done anytime soon, but the Accenture work experience I acquire in the meantime will look good on a resume when and if i decide to transition out of a technology specific role. That said, I'm still trying to figure out how to get into Accenture.
Thanks!
