I thought corporate finance and IBD, like M&A, were the same thing. I know how stupid i shound but can someone explain or point me to where i can find out?
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.

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.

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.
agreed!
About Big 4, I thought Deloitte Corporate Finance is in the MM IB space isn't it, especially after they bought McColl?
All Big 4 are in the MM IB.
