Investment Banking vs Corporate Banking

Hi Monkeys, 

Looking to get some insight into IB versus Corporate Finance (Corporate Banking) from those who have worked in both. What were the red flags in both, etc,. Obviously, it seems like a simple "compensation vs lifestyle" debate - but would like to get some granular insight.
