^This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

It really depends on the product/desk, but overall CIBC is better than Scotia. CIBC is actually probably the strongest on the street right now, and they're expanding rapidly (they're opening a second trading floor in brookfield place)

As for your league tables question, one way to measure is through volume/value/market share of trades on the TSX. For OTC products, obviously it's a little bit harder to gauge.

I agree with everything you said.

And yes, it really depends on the product. The only area that I can confidently say Scotia Capital excels in (compared to the other Big 5) is corporate bond trading. This is from speaking with friends who work in that asset class/space.

To the OP: Let us know the product you're interested in / interviewing with, and hopefully we can expand on some stuff.
