Can anyone add insight on the difference of working in IB in different cities. It seems NYC would be ideal, but what differentiates NYC from Atlanta, Chicago, Charlotte, San Francisco, etc. How does the salaries and bonuses range in different cities, is the culture, hours, or quality of life noticeable different or unique in certain cities or will it all depend on the firm and the team over the city?

There's been some threads about this in the past so I suggest you read those as well, but here are my thoughts:
NYC: IB is more intense, rent is expensive
SF: More casual, tech-focused, probably a little more expensive than NYC, amazing weather
Charlotte: More casual than NYC/SF, very affordable cost of living, good weather
Atlanta: Similar to Charlotte
Pay is the same across the street pretty much. Hours are probably highest in NYC. This will all ultimately depend on the bank you are at.
