Buyside comp in Canada

Question

Hey guys, young equity analyst at a long-only fund based in Montreal here. Wondering if any of you could share comp info for buyside jobs in major Canadian cities. More specifically, looking to get an idea of what "market" is for: 1)Base & Bonus 2)Bonus structure/calculation 3)Comp progression in the context of career development. Any employer (pension funds, HFs, family offices, etc.) is welcome. Thanks in advance!

This is really hard to believe. My group of friends went through the recruiting process and gathered data points. Big 5 sellside analyst 1st yr are getting at least CAD120K, bonus varies depending on bank. I know that for at least 2 of the big5 their AM arms wont take you unless you have 2-3 years sellside experience, so hard to see them paying below what a 1st yr sellside would make.

On another note RBC GAM rotational program is pitifully bad at only CAD95K and the pensions is where its at. A friend was offered 145k base and 105% bonus, role was asset allocation.

I'm not sure how anyone lives in Canada considering their wages, taxes, and prices. Especially housing prices. They are also allowing over a million new immigrants a year without building any housing in a country of only 39 million.... Not sure how this helps in anyway
