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
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
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.
This week I learned that FT Partners, PJS, and KPMG are the newest EBs
The Solomon Partners and SVB guys are like the kids in school who put on overbearing cologne and bowties at parties
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
