Buyside comp in Canada

Hey guys, young equity analyst at a long-only fund based in Montreal here. Wondering if any of you could share comp info for buyside jobs in major Canadian cities. More specifically, looking to get an idea of what "market" is for: 1)Base & Bonus 2)Bonus structure/calculation 3)Comp progression in the context of career development. Any employer (pension funds, HFs , family offices, etc.) is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Traditional asset manager with a one~two teams in all sorts of asset classes (public/private) and multi-asset class solutions. Really don't know anything about the structure between where I am and at the top, but high performing managers in our firm got paid over 50M in good years.

A friend told me that comps for a 1st-yr equity analyst at AM arms of big5 are in the 75-85 range with negligible bonus.

Curious if that's also the case for other independent AM firms

My guess is high 6 figs with a lot of variability year/year based on individual/firm performance.
