Charlotte Biz + Development News 🏗

SoFi Technologies is expanding to the East Coast and promising to create 225 jobs in Charlotte. The San Francisco-based fintech will invest $3 million by Dec. 31, 2026, the N.C. Department of Commerce said during Tuesday’s NC Economic Investment Committee meeting. This project will create those 225 positions through 2030, with a minimum average wage of $108,400. That’s above Mecklenburg County’s average salary of $86,830. SoFi’s hub will be in Ballantyne.

I am glad Bruno is keeping us abreast of what is happening and not keeping it behind a private wall.

clt says that should be a park

The park should be a cap over 277 between South End and Uptown. It can be huge to make it worth going to and it would better tie the economic areas together

It’s a nice program. But the job market is so bad right now, it’s nearly impossible to get a job that pays what it should

The NCDOT is planning on widening I-77 to install new toll lanes from the NC-SC border and connecting with the current toll lanes north. The whole community is against it but the NCDOT insist it will happen

Maybe your expectations for what you should get paid for a new graduate are too high. We just hired an EE grad from Charlotte. I have recruiters contact me all the time looking for an ME and see new job postings almost daily. Get a first job, get a few years of experience and then start worrying about getting paid what you should.
