The first and most obvious way to make more money as an investment banking analyst is to assist in making successful investments. Most investment banking analysts make a percentage commission on the profit they help generate, so whether you advise on fewer (but more successful) investments or more frequent (but modest) investments, you’ll find your pay will increase accordingly. The other way to make more money as an investment banking analyst is to up-skill. The Canadian Securities Institute offers a well-regarded Canadian Securities Course (CSC) that can help you advance in the industry. Your local university may offer coursework in the field as well. An MBA can come in handy, but it will take lots of time and money, unless you pursue an executive or accelerated MBA. Many universities offer this both in-person and online.

If you want to negotiate more pay, see if you’re able to re-work the terms of your compensation. You may be able to negotiate a higher percentage commission from your employer, so you end up making more from the trades you advise on. You should also use your investment portfolio to your advantage. Point to the profit you’ve helped make, and the difference it’s made to your company’s bottom line. As this field is very results-oriented, you will know very quickly whether you have enough proof of your success to be able to ask for a raise. It may help to look at investment banking analyst jobs in your area to see what other brokerages pay, but remember, much of what you earn above and beyond compensation will come in the form of commission and your own successes.
