This is pretty elusive and no one really gives hard stats. Hoping folks can share numbers at the analyst / associate level. Have heard some are in line with Big 5, certain ones pay in US$ converted to CAD,etc

No one pays usd converted to cad. Silly rumour started by snot nosed uni kids
You might be reading to much into the conversion aspect. They don’t live translate USD/CAD or pay you so that you end up with USD in your bank account but generally the salary you get is the conversion. Ie, at a Cad bank where I made 80k prorated, in the same division in the US, I got 120k
You have no idea what you’re talking about lol at least 2 BBs do
To be more specific. It’s not as though the salary is 100K x spot USDCAD FX rate each week.
If you want to claim that the BB’s analyst Toronto pay is $120K CAD vs the $100K you would receive at Big 5 than I agree this is true.
But it’s misleading to say you get paid USD converted to CAD at an FX rate in Toronto.
Same, 95k at a Canadian bank and got 130k CAD for US Bank
