Is Solomon Partners on track to be the next Centerview?
Solomon partners has grown tremendously in the past two years. They are tearing it in M&A and have started to win huge exclusive sell side mandates such as the $6 billion acquisition of The Bountiful Company by Nestlé. They have been expanding like crazy the past two years; they have expanded to having 8 different coverage groups and recently poached a well regarded business services rainmaker to start up a chicago office and according to the New York Times they hope to have 20 people in that office by the end of the year. Akin to centerview, they also have one of the nicest offices on the street and some of the best wlb and top notch exits to MF PE. I know they aren't fully comparable to centerview in 2022, but share a lot of resemblance to each other. It looks like solomon partners have planted the seeds to become the next Centerview by 2027. every firm, including centerview starts small but eventually over time grows into what they are today.
Oh shit, what's up Pete, I didn't know you had a WSO account.
A lot of people at the firm think that we have the potential to become a mini centerview within the next 5 to 10 years. We also have a much nicer office in the folks at CVP... vimeo . com/392776409
Brown oxfords and bagels... typical non-target material smh
Need to recruit target kids that wear black oxfords at Solomon
Take a look at the kids who were there. Plenty of targets.
This video was amazingly cringey lol, The fake pitch halfway through was golden. Reminds me of the UBS video of the same title.
Minute 2:23 is so cringe lol
.
When I recruited at pj solomom they were by far the most loser hardos I've met out of all the banks. You know your banks fig group? Imagine an entire bank like that.
They think they are "cool" and "laid back" despite the fact they neurotically are obsessed with IB.
This thread only confirms my experience.

Just look at this...that's how EVERYONE is there.
Solomon guys throwing monkey shit on everyone who disagrees, but the truth shall prevail
Fucking perfect analogy lol gives the exact picture as that’s exactly how my bank’s fig group is
… I think you’re mistaking us for the guys at Centerview, they are by far more “neurotically obsessed about IB” and are bigger “loser hairdos”.
i gotta push back on this. when you think of centerview, you think of Mark Moran, and having followed him on insta, listening to the litquidity podcast, and watching FBoy island, i can assure you he's not neurotically obsessed about IB or a loser hardo, nor are most of the people at centerview
Omg this is so bad
Knew exactly what that video was before I clicked.
Jesus fucking Christ this has got to be the most cringy video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. What a pathetic excuse for a bank. It seems like all douche bags who give the same energy as the “best bottom tier frat on campus” who walk around with fake smiles and cocky attitudes to hide their obsessive compulsion with finance and anxiety about being in a dog shit middle market. How dare you even remotely compare this absolute fucking horse poopoo to the likes of the elite centerview partners. You are nowhere near an EB, let alone a BB, and hardly even in the MM. The guy narrating it definitely has terrible body odor, can’t model for shit, is always asking interns to do his dirty work, is a huge dickhead to his wealth management friends, and tries to fit in by talking about “the sports game last night” to which the MD responds which one and he freezes…as he is paralyzed with fear and uncertainty. I hate you. I hate this bank. I hate everyone in that video besides the cute blonde chick. F*ck you guys.
Love that you singled out the one hot blonde chick ahahah
This dude interviewed me after he left to a PE shop lmao his really nice and chill
////
lmao the "well regarded business services rainmaker" is an MD poached from Truist... doesn't sound like much of a rainmaker to me
Why’s that?
This kids head is going to explode when he finds out banks that aren't JP or GS can ~earn revenue~
Truist is where MDs go to coast and retire
I’m only 2 drinks in but must’ve gone soft cuz there ain’t no way I just read what I just did
Why you on WSO rn
This week I learned that FT Partners, PJS, and KPMG are the newest EBs
Everyday we stray further from god

Solomon partners???! Offbrand SALOMON BROTHERS??
you're an idiot
The Solomon Partners and SVB guys are like the kids in school who put on overbearing cologne and bowties at parties
Lmao this is definitely the pjs analysts creating burners and trolling the entire sub with these posts. Maybe 1 of them was serious and is also getting trolled
This is definitely neither a troll at CVP or PJ. These posts are popping up everyday on every bank
CVP has a Chicago office?
I think they had a one-person office for Rahm Emmanuel (former mayor of chicago), but he's now off to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Japan
Damn had no idea he was a banker too.
Can’t imagine comp is anything like centerview? Anyone have #s?
No. CVP is unmatched. Next comes EVR PJT PWP.
Salomon Partners and PJ Sol, will never be there, sorry.
lmao hardo
One of my former MDs went to PJ Solomon and he is by far the dumbest mf i've ever worked with.
Huge dickhead too.
who is it? Find this hard to believe. You can’t be dumb and just become an MD
You clearly haven't worked in banking...
100% sure that Bountiful deal wasn’t even Solomon or at the very least not exclusive.
Source: work at Evercore and Evercore announced internally that we’re exclusive adviser on that sell-side when the deal was announced. It’s also disclosed on the Evercore investor relations page as a transaction EVR did

Peter J. Solomon President Ken Berliner Leaves for Centerview | Fortune
If PJ solomon was really on track to be the next Centerview, then you wouldn't see the President of the PJ solomon leave to join centerview as a partner
You do understand OP is trolling?
do moves like this typically happen? going from a president of a boutique to a partner at another boutique? seems like a downgrade in terms of rank but definitely an upgrade in terms of the bank he's working at.
thats crazy lol, thats like if ken moelis left to be a partner at evercore
