Salary+Bonus progress in Toronto

Hi all bankers,

Right now i have a engineering job for 64k. i definitely want to switch to IB, however, i have 2 choices; quit now and do my MBA full time or do the first half part time and then switch full time. I have developed a discounted cash flow for the two scenarios but to make it more realistic i need to guessestimate what would be my salary+bonus in IB for the next 5 years.

Can anyone (from experience and knowledge about the Toronto market) tell me what i should expect for the first 5 years?

Thanks a lot for your help, Iyad

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“My mentor got on at 4 AM to make the session work with my schedule, which says a lot about how much he cares about helping students. He walked through every single point I brought, never rushed me, and made sure I actually understood each one before moving on. He was patient and direct, and he gave me honest feedback when something needed work. I left the call with a clear plan and a lot more confidence than I had going in. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for real, practical guidance.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“I loved how he was specific to me. And what i needed to work on and he made and mimicked the same style as an interview ( like a real life - going into some behavioural questions ( wanting to hear some market updates ) then going straight into a technical interview . It was nice to also find a mentor from the same background who played tennis and also into a sector I’m interested in and explained how to handle -> why a particular group style sort of questions and giving more attributes I cool pull from given similar backgrounds ”
