would it be advisable for young Canadians to move to the states or London or Hong Kong to pursue a career in FO finance
Canadian Banks ~ 10-15 Global Banks ~ 2-5 EB's/Boutiques ~ 1-2
In terms of competition, there are less spots available, however, less people apply as well. In recent years, I would say competition has increased drastically as US-based firms have been less open to hiring Canadians and international students.
Edit: Not sure why I got monkey shit, but feel free to correct me.
What are the best EBs in Toronto? Is it harder to land these vs. the Big 5 Canadian banks?
EVR, greenhill, lazard consistently hire summer analysts. 100% harder to land as they only hire 1-2 spots.
Even before the TN issue, it was tougher to land a spot as compared to the US. Just significantly less turnover so less hiring needs on an ongoing basis.
