<p>I was wondering about the difference between the two. I was looking at college employment reports and saw that there were many hired as "analysts", but fewer people at the same company were hired as "ib analysts" (Cornell reports, btw i only saw like 20 total from cornell with the actual "ib analyst" title"). </p>
<p>What are the differences between the two? Is pay different? Also, is 20 supposed to be an average amount from Cornell to IB or am I just wrong about this statistic?</p>
<p>Analyst could mean anything, could be just an entry level corporate finance position or even a marketing analyst or something. IB analyst should imply that the person is doing front office investment banking work. Then again, the reports are probably written by someone who isn’t in the industry and doesn’t grasp the difference anyway.</p>
<p>My D was hired as an IB analyst. She works front office, IB and S & T, in trading. Her close friend was hired as an analyst by the same company. But she works in HR. Both were recently promoted to associate. But my D, as an IB analyst had a higher starting salary and has had larger bonuses.</p>
