Life in Markets and Securities Services

Hey guys, I was reading up on different groups under firms and their institutional groups, and I was wondering, as someone new to the world of finance, what life is like in this field at a BB.

Is markets and securities the same as sales and trading? How are the hours compared to normal IB? What's the salary like?

In general, what's the difference between a "Markets Analyst" and an "Investment Banking Analyst"?

Sorry for my noobishness. Cheers.
