Hello from Charlotte

WSO community,

I wanted to briefly introduce myself. My username is CBruinZ, but you can call me C or CZ. I work at a boutique technology M&A shop in Charlotte, NC.

About Me

  1. Undergrad UCLA - business economics/minor in accounting
  2. IB recruiting during financial crisis of '08/'09
  3. After grad moved out to Carolinas with a relocation of my father's company
  4. Worked for pops for 2 years
  5. In the meantime recruited for IB on the side (internships/FT)
  6. Landed unpaid internship
  7. Internship turned to FT analyst
  8. FT turned to Associate role

During undergrad, I always went on WSO but never actually signed up until about a year ago. Looking forward to connecting to my fellow peers in finance.

-CZ
