I’m in TMT IB in CLT. Just started up training in June but interned in the space too and have a pretty good idea of what’s going on.

Not as much at SF and NY obviously but great for a T2 city. Well known shops that have tech groups in CLT include: Jefferies (Tech-Enabled services/software), Wells Fargo(Tech Services, Media & Telecom), and William Blair(Software). There also is a boutique bank with around 30 bankers called 7 Mile Advisors that also focuses on Tech services

More and more tech companies are coming to CLT as well so more tech Corp Dev jobs are popping up too

I live in Charlotte and have friends who are currently or were previously in those groups mentioned above. Lot of growth/momentum in the space here.
