How does Toronto compare to the rest of the world?
Obviously, when you think of banking, everyone knows the powerhouses are NYC, London, and HK but I was wondering where Toronto and Canada compare. With the Canadian dollar being worth less than the USD and Toronto being less of a financial hub than NYC, obviously, the salaries would be a bit lower. Which city is most comparable to Toronto in terms of comp and financial importance? I've heard it compared to other cities in the US like Chicago or Boston, how true is this?
Also how does finance in Toronto compare to places like Germany, France, Japan and Singapore? Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've gathered from other threads, is it something like this:
Tier 1: US(NYC), UK, China Tier 2: Germany, France, Japan, Canada, US(Non-NYC) Tier 3: Australia, Singapore, India Tier 5: Russia, Brazil Tier 6: Other

What about igloo mortgages?
What exactly are you asking about? It's a bit of a generic question to ask how banking compares in Toronto relative to everywhere else. Comp., cost of living and hours are probably all modestly lower than your tier 1 cities. Obviously there is a bit of a resources slant given it's Canada and the deals in general are a bit smaller in that a deal over a billion is a good size deal, and a deal over $10 billion is big whereas those thresholds are are likely higher in NYC.
What about Toronto? (Originally Posted: 07/13/2007)
I was able to find most compensation info for most US BB in NY. But what about IBs in Toronto.
Please share the info you know.
