Does city affect exit ops for MBA Associates?

I am a post-mba associate and have the option to work in either Charlotte or NYC. Obviously, charlotte is a lot cheaper, but will living there hurt my exit ops down the road? Is NYC worth it for a few years?

 Most people will regard NYC IB higher than Charlotte. If your exit is in NC then Charlotte is better, otherwise it's not. This is really dependent on what you want from your exit.

 

It's a mix of both aspects. There's not a lot of associates with children but a significant amount with partners. Some people live in jersey or brooklyn but I would guess majority is in the city. It's a relatively junior role with most people being in the 29-35 age range, roughly.
