Corporate advisory vs investment banking analyst
I've just started FT at a small shop (~5 people) that specializes in technology advisory. My official title is: Analyst - M&A. The firm refer to themselves as a TMT corporate advisor but I haven't seen them being called an investment bank.
After doing some Googling, I've found there are quite a number of firms that refer to themselves as corporate advisory and not investment banks, although the services they offer are identical to other small shops that refer to themselves as IBs. This, along with my own personal circumstance, got me thinking: is there a difference between an investment banking analyst vs an M&A analyst at a corporate advisory firm? Is the difference in naming just a technicality? Is it OK if I put on my resume that I work at an investment bank?
Thanks.

Curious about your path as an alternative to the traditional IB recruiting process - how did you land your gig? Cold emails/networking? Existing connections? And what does your comp look like?
bump as well, pretty interested what the solution would be
Very general rule: corporate finance advisory = advisory. A bank also helps you to actually raise money/IPO/term loans from their balance sheet.
same shit. "advisor" (whether corporate finance, m&a, strategic etc etc) just means the firm doesn't underwrite capital markets transactions. it's still an investment bank.
Doesn't really matter. I think Houlihan also does the same thing.
They're literally the same thing
