Can definitely kiss your username goodbye
if you're in a solid group with good deal flow, you can definitely get MM PE in NY/elsewhere. MF is probably a stretch but anything is possible. Also, there are a number of solid MM/LMM PE shops in Charlotte to check out
Did you want to be in Charlotte. Because moving from Charlotte to NY is quite difficult from what I have heard.
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.
Unrelated, but can you comment on how challenging it is for those who start in IB in NYC to lateral to Charlotte in the future? Thinking more along the lines of Associate/VP level. Appreciate the insight
Would imagine NYC to CLT is doable and easier than CLT to NYC.
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
Most of these are group dependent.
MF recruiting from out of state seems pretty tough for on-cycle, just logistically. Interviews start late at night, are scheduled last minute, have multiple rounds and at least some of those rounds are in-office.
