... was talking with a couple classmates years ago about putting together an independent black-owned and ran accounting business, but they didn't fw it 'cause of the uncertainty. The clientele is there for black accountants to eat well, but I think the problem is the extra work that gotta go into fishin' for it.

:francis::francis::francis:

Shyt was depressing and made me switch majors.

We are not in accounting, but we hire accountants and other positions by the boatload. All I am saying is, DEI practices as I've said before on this board started making a lot of departments look straight up black in the years I've been with them. Even had a DEI person hired last year who was doubling efforts.

Unfortunately we have beef with the Trump regime I can't go into detail about but its made hiring dry tf up and had a companywide re-evaluation of how they recruit talent just so we don't run afoul of this mothafukka.

When I was at university doing an accounting degree, there were enough black people in my classes where we could have got something shaking, but they didn't want to put in the work. This was back in 2017, so now that Trump is doing this I wonder what the response is going to be like from black people in the industry.

I changed majors, but always wanted to finish my units and get a CPA to start my own business, but now more like a side hustle instead of a career.

But Coli experts said that data showed white women benefit the most from DEI so there would obviously be zero tangible impact on Black people, whether a company is pro-DEI or anti-DEI :patrice:

You should still get that CPA to get it popping. As a controller, I'm being offered $250K jobs to be a nonprofit CFO. Nonprofit work is where I want to be.

NPs is where I was looking to get to.
Lately, I've been pretty tired and gotta reassess my health.
Was probably going to start hitting up that plan next year sometime.
I got some other small goals I gotta finish first.

Thanks.
