National vs Canaccord vs Stifel vs Raymond James (Toronto)

Can anyone comment on how they compare in the following?

  1. Base comp and bonus % (what it tended to be in the past)
  2. Deal flow
  3. Reputation in Canada & in US
  4. Analyst program years (which is 2, which is 3 if any)
  5. Location mobility (if any of them lets you and sponsors your move to their US offices)

Appreciate any input, thanks!

How are you supposed to “do research” on this without asking people in the industry you idiot?

 

They all suck in Toronto, all they do is maple syrup deals and occasionally Real Estate deals but the real estate in question is all igloos. The Senior MD of Canaccord Toronto is literally an Eskimo who rides his sleigh to work via a bunch of huskies and then throws them an Intern for lunch, which the huskies violently and bloodily tear apart on the trading floor as he screams for mercy. It's an odd group for sure. 

 

Non culpa quod dicta impedit. Quasi nihil vel voluptatem. Est omnis sit qui necessitatibus est iure inventore. Maxime iusto earum ea dolor hic ut.
