Best advice/coffee chats positions in Charlotte
Aug 12, 2019, 11:13 AM
|
|
Hey everyone. I am currently working for a financial services firm in Europe. I split my time 50/50 between Charlotte and Luxembourg. However, I am ready to be closer to my wife and family so I have decided to quit that position.
Does anyone have any advice for how to attack finding a job in the Charlotte market. I am fairly new to the area (since November 2018), but I hold a MBA from a top 10 program in the world and have some solid experience to date.
GO TIGERS!

Nothing wrong with providing a good cup of coffee to people. That said, I cannot brew a good cup of coffee so that option may be off the table.

The good folks here are going to give you sound advice. Since I am not versed in Top 10 MBA programs or Luxembourg, I cannot comment. But I do have some some words of wisdom:
Charlotte is a new money ######## that will devour your soul and ruin your life. I am very experienced in this regard. I have years, almost a decade worth of experience, proving Raleigh is a far superior city and hub for a career and family. Not only do I work back breaking hours that prevent me from seeing my family, I have also developed a case of crippling depression from reading your post and I do not see myself being able to recover.
Last but not least, post pigs of your wife.

Does Raleigh have a dive bar on par with the Thirsty Beaver?
Aug 12, 2019, 12:41 PM
|

let me answer that for you....NO. Sure, Charlotte may not be the best city, but it does have THAT. This fact immediately invalidates your argument for superiority.

But gentrification took those places. Thirsty Beaver has stood the test of time it appears.

the Easter Bunny is a notorious drunk and lover of all things honky tonk.
That is an OLD picture. This is what it looks like since Mark and Brian fought of the developers, and definitely before 5:00 because there ain't no motorsickles out front.

There are museums dedicated to Americana that don't have what they have hanging on the walls in there. They also have one of the world's greatest Jukeboxes.

If I read correctly, you quit your job without a plan

because of a woman? You'll find some friends here, especially when she leaves you for one of those rich Charlotte bankers that lack scruples.

That seems to be the route most financial “experts” do here in CLT.

45 minutes from Luxembourg City. Remember meeting a chick in a bar there one night, my friends leaving me, and having to hitch hike to Bitburg in the pouring rain....beautiful city with all the hills.
Also, our AF hoops team (I was the only white guy) beat the Lux. National Team one night...good times.
