Consulting salaries in Canada

Looking to make a switch to Consulting in Canada. Saw a similar thread for IB/PE salaries in Canada with a lot of inputs, decided to start one for Consulting too. Saw a recent thread stating Monitor Deloitte has a base of 65 k CAD, seemed super low. Is this case across the board in Canada? Would appreciate any inputs.

No in Toronto the bases are the same as their US counterparts except on CAD. Sometimes they are at a discount. For example, know that BCG base is 90 in the US but 82 in Toronto. I could be wrong though but it’s just what I heard.

 

Big 3 pay a base of about ~$80k CAD and the Big 4 pay really low like $65-70k CAD. It makes me regret living in a country with the stupid high cost of living, higher tax, and lower salary compared to the US counter-part. 

Edit: new data - BCG pay is $100k CAD, and the other two are $85-90k CAD according to most recent info. Seems my sources for those three was a bit outdated.

 

oh damn. You seem like you have a lot of knowledge on the Canadian market. By any chance, do you know how it stacks up as you progress? (Associate, Manager levels) Also agree thag being in Canada sucks, pay is low, opportunities are very limited (small class sizes) fkn hate it
