Honestly during my last job search, I had a lot of recruiters try an contact me about jobs in Charlotte (was living in SC at the time and Charlotte was the closest 1 million+ metro) but ultimately decided not to pursue anything there. Primarily, it just seems like one of the dullest, most sterile city even when compared to other southern cities like Atlanta, Nashville, etc. It seems like a fine place if you're getting older and looking to settle down / have a family / buy a house, etc., but not for a young single guy. Ironically I ended up taking a job in a tiny city / large town in Florida which is likely worse, but I just wanted a break from the South-proper scene.
I'm kinda regretting it tbh, because at the least moving to Charlotte would have exposed me to the Finance industry which I could bounce off of to land myself in pretty high paying roles later in life, but I think my next job search I'm going to leave the south altogether.
