hows barc?
Really small team so decided to leave them off. But prob around A- / B+ lvl
Why is BofA in A+ and not with JPM and Citi?
Comp and deal flow.
How is scotia?
Updated.
How’s CIBC?
Updated.
How does comp at a regions or fifth third compare to a top tier firm? Specifically at VP+ levels. What do MDs max out at?
Knew of an MD who came over that was making ~$700k base for two years ($1.4M total). Not sure if this is the usual though
Is this supposed to be a high or low figure? (Genuinely curious what the expectations are)
SMBC?
Bmo is missing. A
RBC?
Is Citi really the same as JPM?
Yes, their corp banking team has been stellar in recent years. Majority time it'll be JPM / Citi mandating 50-70% of the big international deals.
Updated with the other banks mentioned.
How is comp at Citi CB NY relative to other firms? Associate/VP bonus?
What is comp like at the S and A tiers for analysts through MDs?
