Canadian Big 6 Base Salaries

I know that this year some of the US banks did reraises pushing up first year analyst pay to $110k. I was wondering where the CAD Big 6 is sitting at right now. From what I last heard they were paying 95k. Do you think there will be a reraise to what the US banks are paying?

Also, does anyone have any ideas on how the pension funds and buyside shops are paying in Canada. There qas a helpful thread that was done pre-COVID on Bay Street comp, that is probably outdated now.

I am quoting in the local currencies. So Big 6 in CAD and the US BB/EBs in USD. Although, I am assuming the Big 6 in thr US offices would pay the same 95k but in USD.

 

Thank you for sharing - this is really helpful

Did you hear anything about them formally changing the base to 105k, or do you feel that is was more of a one-time thing.
