BMO Capital Markets - Toronto vs. Montreal?

Anyone know the difference (industries/products) covered by the Montreal and Toronto offices for BMO CM?

Both offices are recruiting on campus and I'm wondering whether or not it's worth applying to both or if I should concentrate on one. If anyone has info on culture at both offices, that would also be great.

Metals and mining in Toronto seems to be a good group, at least in 2010 it was. Hope that helps.

The real question is why would you even consider Montreal over Toronto?

I would understand if you said Calgary given Canada's strong presence in the Natural Resource sector, but Montreal...really?

 

Montreal has tons of deal flow but they're mostly Quebec companies. Hours are longer in Montreal too due to smaller team. To move up the ranks you have to be able to speak french to the clients.

 

The Montreal office is an absolute sweat shop (I know many people that have worked there). Reason being is that them, alongside NBF, are the top two teams in Quebec so they get the majority of the deals that run through that economy.
