As I understand it in the UK corporate finance and investment banking are analougous and are the same role with the same functions but with corporate finance with lower deal size. 

UK or not, this is not strictly true. It is true that some banks used to call IB "corporate finance" and some still do (e.g. Houlihan). But corporate finance has a much wider meaning in the general corporate world beyond just banking or doing transactions. It's literally just about maximising shareholder value. Just clarifying for prospects.

As to your situation, anything is better than nothing.
