What is normal? The machine boots to a login screen, then to your account. That's normal. There is no specification for doing it in a certain amount of time.
But I use full disk FileVault2, so the machine boots only to FV2 prebooter. On previous Macs this action takes about 2-3 seconds.
On M1 it takes 44 seconds.

Actually, I cannot say that programs open instantly on MBP M1. Most of apps (MS Office apps, Foxit PDF, Affinity photos, MS Edge, Firefox etc..) launch takes more than 5-6 secs or more. When it loaded on RAM, of course open instantly after that. But my expectations about M1 Mac's app "first" launch time did not meet. It was a disappointment for me, especially considering it had such a enormous fast transfer speeds.
Thanks. I have one now and I experience the same. Also getting some beach balls occasionally which I never thought I would see on an M1

This is my ultra speed boot to FileVault2 login...

Same for my M1 MBP. Takes forever at Apple logo but once in Mac OS it’s fast. My intel MBP boots much faster from shutdown. I think Apple intended these to not be shut down very often.
