Difference between IB finance and finance

<p>Whats the difference between IB finance department and regular finance department? Seems like banks have IB finance and regular companies refer it to finance department.</p>

<p>IB finance is a department of finance. For example, IB Finance (Analyst) means you are an Analyst for the Investment Banking Division. Regular Finance can be just a general department. When people say, I work in Finance, it means they work in the Finance department or financial services. IB Finance is used typically for bulge brackets.</p>
