Recruiting for Charlotte PE?

Any thoughts on Charlotte PE firms? Does anyone know when these guys recruit? I’m in my second analyst year and considering jumping in 2024 but want to stay in Charlotte.

I’d welcome any opinions / insights on firms like Ridgemont, Falfurrias, Pamlico, Summit, etc.

Don’t know the market too well, but off the top of my head Pamlico, Ridgemont, Summit Park, Carousel, Kian, Frontier are all pretty legit names. I know a few of them recruit through headhunters (I think Bellcast covers Pamlico and Ridgemont) but this is probably a situation where networking and proactively reaching out to folks at firms you’re interested in could go a long way.
