Make sure you understand U.S. vs Canada, this is spot on.

Now you know why ppl think this country is going to sh*t?

 

No chance a VP in CB is only making $225k in CAD lol there are associates that hit this figure.

yes this is accurate and so are the asso numbers.

the associates that hit that figure in Canada are working at BBs at their satellite office. 

TD and BMO pays its CB associates 110 base while CIBC is 120 base, 30 - 40% bonus. 

I know an an associate from Big 5 that went to a BB in Canada for analyst, he took a base cut but his bonus as an analyst more than made up for it at 60%. he said its easier to climb from analyst to asso than it is as an asso to VP if all you care about is total comp and disregard the title. 

 

A bit off topic but what is the best way to prepare for corporate banking interviews technicals wise.

 

Look at common credit metrics (leverage, liquidity, coverage ratios) and understand the 5 C's. Understand the different products a bank offers (RCF, types of different loans) and make sure to explain how current macro environment affects lending conditions. A good understanding of different industries would also help in assessing which businesses are ideal / safer to lend to.
