NY, Charlotte, Chicago, Houston?

Hey, anyone here know any differences between these cities for IB? I heard Charlotte is great for young professionals but NYC has a broader range of options. Also, I’m from NY. Any input helps because Chicago sounds interesting to me and I wanna hear how people make jumps across cities.
