BMO CM Corporate Banking is housed within the IB. I have a friend over there who I think is a first year ASSOCIATE, and his base is $125k. Think he said his bonus is around 50%.

When I was still in corporate banking, i was making 80k + 45k as an analyst.

Similar to the comment above, I'd be 100% pissed if I were in CB as an associate making anything under 6-figures base as it's a to of work. Yes, culture is different from pure IB, but hours can easily hit IB hours in any given week when a live deal is in play.

EDIT: Edited comment to specify my friend is an associate, not an analyst

 

I thought IB base pay is only 85-90k at most BB's? I assumed corporate banking would have the same salary if housed with IB but lower bonus compared to IB so 125k seems very high for first year analyst.
