Corp Banking Associate Comp - Canada/USA

Hey all - I joined a Corp Banking unit at one of the largest Canadian banks.

I joined straight as an associate from previous roles that weren't related to wholesale banking.

As I joined right after the fiscal year, I don't really know what the Canadian CB Associates (y1-y3) stand to earn. Base is $100K CAD.

Wondering if anyone has any numbers that they're able to quote to give us a sense of what Canadian Asscoiate bonuses are like in CB?

Thanks
