Charlotte IB 2018 SA

Here's a great post from a similar thread with an overview of Charlotte IB

"Sil" Did you search WSO at all? This has been discussed countless times already. I'm not trying to discourage you, but you may want to think about transferring schools if your end goal is Charlotte. These boutiques are HEAVILY biased towards UNC, Duke, Davidson, and Wake Forest.

Below is a general overview of IB in Charlotte. Most banks in Charlotte were either founded by or are currently led by former Bowles Hollowell (now Wells Fargo) bankers, so everyone knows everyone.

---BBs/Large banks--- -Bank of America (very few groups, mostly leveraged finance) -Wells Fargo (still a large presence, but they have moved many groups to NY)

---MMs--- -Baird (they had one analyst there a few years ago...might just be a few MDs now) -Deloitte (formerly McColl Partners...not sure if they have changed under Deloitte, but this was one of the stereotypical "you better be from UNC" place) -Lazard MM (not the same as the Lazard EB...I believe they have healthcare and industrials in Charlotte) -Jefferies (I believe they have consumer in Charlotte) -Piper Jaffray (formerly Edgeview...this was the other "you better be from UNC" place) -SunTrust (I believe they have TMT in Charlotte)

---Boutiques--- -7 Mile -Allen C Ewing -BlackArch (they were bought by Regions a few months ago) -Bourne Partners -Brookwood Associates -Dragonfly Capital -Fidus -Fennebresque -Philpott Ball & Werner -Sherman & Company (FIG) -Tobin & Company (avoid like the plague)

Am I missing anyone?
