IB Analyst Charlotte NC

Coming from a semi target (NYU/ Gerogetown/ BC/ Wake) and going into IB in Charlotte. Going to a better shop there (WF/ BofA/ Jefferies) but what do exit ops look like for PE in NY and elsewhere. Anything else different about Charlotte IB vs NY?

No preference and made the decision based on group rather than location


Why do I feel like this is WF Lev Fin. Only in Charlotte and a solid group lol

Congrats on BC and Jefferies. JK…

Speaking from experience, have seen analysts lateral both internally and externally from CLT to NYC. To be fair though, most bankers in CLT didn’t want to be in NYC in the first place, otherwise they would’ve ended up there initially.

In terms of exits, MF is unlikely. Had plenty of reach outs for MM firms all over the country when doing PE recruiting (NYC included) but will end up elsewhere.

Happy to answer more specific questions if you’d like.

 

Any major differences in the actual nature of the work (# of deals, deal size, num of hours, comp, prestige) or is this just based on group and not really location dependent
