Wrong place to ask these questions, this board is focused on, for example, the corporate finance department at a Fortune 500 company.

Also, do a forum search. You'll find the answer to your question and peinvestor won't have to yell at you.

There is corporate finance which is M&A and then many medium-sized and large companies have internal corporate finance departments. Those internal departments focus on things like: general accounting, tax accounting, forecasting, planning, etc.

If you land a summer placement in Big 4 corporate finance as an undergraduate student, is it easier to break into investment banking when you're doing full-time recruiting, or Finishing your CPA/CA with the Big 4?

Also how do the salaries differ between big 4 corporate finance, a mid-market investment bank, a boutique investment bank, and a bulge bracket investment bank?

Depends, where are you targeting? Europe, US or other?

You don't care about salary in IB, you care about compensation (salary + bonus/incentives).

It depends on the boutique (there are "elite boutiques" like Moelis, Greenhill, etc.) and there are small boutiques (usually 20 employees and fewer).

BB IBD / Elite Boutiques

MM IB

Big 4/Small Boutique (depends on office, firm, etc.)

It will be the lowest bucket, but have the best hours (55-75/wk). So, there is that trade-off, among others.
