Don’t usually post on here but I’m wondering if anyone has experience working at PJ Solomon and knows anything about 1) deal flow (not just retail but other groups); 2) view on Natixis 51% ownership; 3) how the business rapidly expanded over the past few years; 4) associate and up compensation vs. BBs and EBs; 5) more recession resistant vs. other banks b/c of culture (probably not but curious). Appreciate and welcome any thoughts from my fellow monkeys

bump - recruiting process just started at my school and would be interested in any insights
Work at a (sort of) competitor but have friends who graduated' their analyst program recently (all started post-Natixis) — have heard great things about culture (even post stake sale) and they all placed well, in C&R-focused roles and elsewhere
It's one initial away from PJT, which is highly regarded. Take that as you will
Any thoughts about their restructuring practice given current events and many of their major clients being in retail?
Bump
Anyone have insights into the restructuring group?
I just hate how their LinkedIn company name is all caps
PJ SOLOMON - like bruh that’s weird
P.J. Solomon - not bad! I’ll work there.
PJS Partners - Even better!
Piper Jaffray Solomon - Ultimate prestige, too bad it never happened
With regards to the 51% bought by natixis, from what I've heard from people at natixis, minimal contact between the two, really just viewed it as an investment/provide M&A coverage which they don't really do. Natixis in the US is much bigger in real estate, energy stuff, some levfin, doesn't do the all of classic IB stuff that other banks do. Decided to dip their toes in M&A from an investment standpoint, ideally can refer clients from one to the other, but do not share offices, HR, etc.
Again, this is what I heard from Natixis side, can't comment on the feelings and thoughts of people at PJS.

Haven't worked for PJS but interviewed extensively with them for Post-MBA Associate and really really enjoyed meeting the firm (said this before, but their office is the nicest in the city). For the areas they focused on, they had strong MDs and I definitely got the sense they really give a shit about junior bankers and push for as much work life balance as possible in IB.
Had to turn them down but would recommend to anyone.
Have friend who works there.
Would characterize it as a spot for career bankers. Have very well respected bankers in their main coverage areas consumer, retail, infra, power, renewables etc. Lot of ex Goldman/MS mds. Exits typically to MM PE for analysts that choose to leave though alot stay behind because of great work life balance.
Consistently see associates and up lateral to there from other banks. Very selective in recruiting at the undergrad level, rarely hire outside of their target schools with a very small intern class 10 probably in their NY office.
Strong growth projectory since Natixis acquisition but would say like other banks they have their weaker groups as well. Culture is superb but definitely seems like they suffer from very low gender diversity.
Did anyone hear back from the 2021 SA superday?
Do you know if the recruiting process for PJS is finished already?
Yeah pretty sure they are done
they actually are still doing a few interviews but its basically done
-
anyone heard back from a superday recently? or have any insight into how long it takes them to get back
Offers were sent out about 2 hours before the superday -- if not, definitely a waitlist situation.
do you mean after..
You didn’t lock in your offer the night before the superday? rookie mistake
nice name
lmao
Has anyone gotten an offer yet?
haven’t heard anything
got my offer last week
What day was your superday?
