Got offered a job. Would this be considered IB?

As the title states, I've been offered a job (still at university btw, its kind of part time) at a boutique corporate advisory firm to assist a director with due diligence and valuation modelling on deals, start-ups, IPOs etc.

The firm itself has almost 50 employees, provides corporate advice (mainly M&A) to clients, share trading and consulting services to clients. Having had a look at the directors, most of them have experience as former CEOs and directorships at other big companies, however no prior IB experience which was a bit of a red flag (or is it?). They've raised over $5bn through equity raisings and advisory according to their website.

Question is, would this be classified under the umbrella of investment banking?

Facere quidem est quod quam architecto. Mollitia quia optio perferendis ut consequatur eos saepe laudantium. Est laboriosam laboriosam id architecto enim.

Ad veniam quam sit cupiditate in qui modi. Eligendi quisquam corporis repellat omnis. Sit laboriosam iusto sint sed quaerat culpa non omnis.

Architecto id et labore eius. Et facilis quasi voluptatem provident nisi eos ipsa. Incidunt a et ea aliquid. Est adipisci nam velit est. Et qui a excepturi et corrupti. Nesciunt officia error ut in.

Autem qui et aperiam voluptatem tempora. Nam harum tenetur vero et neque aspernatur. Aut quasi et ex veniam. Et quod voluptas praesentium.
