Solomon Partners vs. FT Partners - Which Is A Better Firm
Which of the two is better in terms of SA lateral opps, prestige, and overall experience. I guess what I am asking is if you got an offer as an SA from both SP and FTP, which would you accept?
I am also interested to an extent which would be a better choice between the two for FT recruiting? which firm has better MF PE exits? Does the superior EB-like pay at FT Partners outweigh the great wlb/culture at Solomon Partners?
FT Partners
For SA or FT?
Both. Deal volume and mandates are distinctly ftp favored. Size and frequency.
Solomon Partners all the way for SA and full time … isn’t even a question… the cultural difference between SP and FTP is like the difference between Heaven and Hell, respectively. Regarding lateral opps, at SP you’ll be coming in as a generalist which gives you a lot of of opportunities to lateral to any coverage group, rather than only being confined to lateraling to FinTech, FIG, or Tech groups. Plus you’ll be working on a ton of M&A deals, certainly way more than you would at FTP since they’re mostly cap markets. As a full time analyst, you have a much better shot at getting into an MF PE fund at SP, without a doubt. Regarding pay, yes while FTP has the highest base at 140, they are likely to make up for that by giving out a lower bonus with TC coming out to ~$200 which is around the same TC as SP.
