Associate Salary — Toronto Investment Banking

Hi all, I want to know what base salary and total comp can one expect from an investment banking associate 1 and 2 roles (coverage or M&a team) at a big 6 Canadian bank (RBC, BMO, NBF, Scotia, Cibc) or a global bulge bracket Toronto based teams?? Unable to find any info on this. Thanks!

Not OP, but just curious as to why CIBC and Scotia comp is below street? Is this true at the analyst level as well?

 

Thank you. Do you have a sense of how much does NBF offer to its junior folks relative to other b5? I have also heard it’s above market, but not really sure. Cheers

They pay slightly higher for analyst base and probably comprable to RBC for all in, which is slightly above Street (TD too). Not sure about associate, but doubt we are really talking meaningful differences from Street all in. The base is the same as RBC, BMO, TD.  I hear that BMO pays its associates all cash though, not sure if that's true. If that's the case, their all in should be around what RBC is in terms of cash if not a touch higher.
