Black women made the career switch from corporate America to entrepreneurship during Covid-19. While it appears entrepreneurship was deemed a necessity, Black women were the largest group of new business owners closely followed by Latina women. These businesses have high growth potential but why is access to finding still a barrier?
Share your thoughts on why.

Hi,
I am looking to learn more about the NPI program manager role at Apple. Specifically want to understand the following:
1. What's exactly the day to day beyond the fluff job post?
2. What skills will be considered critical to be successful in the role?
3. How is success defined in the role?
4. What does the career progression look like?
5. What background is considered desirable for this role? Can one get into this role without prior background in NPI?
Thanks in advance!

In public accounting you can expect to get promoted to senior from associate in 2-3 years
If the contract work was compliance heavy it can certainly help. PA firms usually don’t even count internships with them to the 2 years. Usually it’s only full time.
I’ve seen high performers go up for senior after a year. But two is common.
Two even if you’re a high performer. Ticked me the hell off when I was an associate bc at one point I wound up reviewing a seniors work (I had prior accounting experience before getting my masters in tax). Don’t take it personal if they don’t budge on 2 years.
Worked my ass off and made it in one year — but am honestly shocked by it still. I think it has a lot to do with the leadership and initiative you are willing/able to show.
