Hi, To share my experience who are looking to exit. I am a director at KP, YOE consulting 12 years at 200K base 15% bonus:

TD / RBC AVP, 160 - 170K Base 50% bonus + stock, etc.
CPPIB D, 150 - 170K base 50% bonus
CPPIB MD, 180 - 200K base 100% bonus (yes, 100%)
Magna, MGR 175K base max
SAKS Off 5th (US), D, 190K Base 15% bonus
MLSE D, 140 - 160K,
Kainos, architect, 190K base max.

I ended up with a US based HR tech firm, Architect: 230K CAD 15% bonus stock options.

Hope this helps!

Way to pay it forward. 👏. And nice exit. Well done

Thanks! I am very grateful for being able to find this opportunity. Local CA / TO firms, it's really hard for them to pay 200K+ base, just the market geo and tax systems. Unless you get to VP+

It was for their Tech & Data group.

Why didn’t you take the AVP role at TD/ RBC? Your overall TC would have been greater and probably path to VP in 18m to 24m. Didn’t realize bonus would be 50% but I believe it was mentioned offered more as a way to match your TC. Congrats some great exit opts you had. Did you apply or they reached out to you?

I received a similar but slightly lower offer. Variable comp wasn't quite 50%, but a big portion of the was in stock, so not "bonus" per se.

Care to share insights on MLSE? They seem to be hiring quite a bit

They did tell me that in the new year, they would have more postings out. They were a bit slow in NOV / DEC. So I guess they are getting back on recruiting. But the time between my interviews and application was quite some time as well. Maybe they are just swamped.
