Can anyone provide any insights regarding the salary progression (all-in) from AN1 to ASO3 in Toronto and Montreal? Assuming a "normal" year. Have seen a wide range of numbers that all differs from one another.
Also, are both cities paying the same amounts?
Thanks!

There’s a lot of coverage in Toronto comp elsewhere on wso. But can confirm that Montreal, there’s normally a significant discount as COL is materially lower.
Really?? I thought that all the Big 5 were offering the same all-in comp across their offices (in Canada at least)
Not sure how you can confirm that because I know for a fact the two largest big 5 in Montreal pay their juniors the exact same bucket. Those offices generate quite a lot of revenue per head.
Can you disclose the names? BMO & National?
For the other 3, can we assume a small, but not significant discount?
Thanks!
Do you have an idea of how much a VP would make in MTL (all-in) at one of the big five/six?
Not really true lol. The big 5/6 pay pretty standardized across Canadian offices from what ive seen. E.g. NBF/BMO is around 75k bonus for first year + 100k base in MTL. ASO1-2 usually pull in around 300 all in
Does this pretty much applies to all 6 banks?
Reputable source? Do you have an idea of how much a VP1 would make in MTL (all-in)?
Montreal pay is 50 to 75% lower than banking in Saskatchewan since the expos left
Can confirm
Is there a base salary increase from your internship to FT analyst at National?
Yes. Base is 100k in FT.
