Has anyone experienced their name constantly being spelt wrong by a senior colleague in single and group correspondences? Feels purposeful. Name is common and difficult to spell incorrectly.

Someone used to do the same with mine and it’s a common name. After correcting this person a number of times, I just just started misspelling their’s. They got the hint.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
