not 100% sure but the investment banker where I work sees customers (usually ones with a lot of savings £15,000+) and tells them what to do with their money eg but them in mellenium bonds, ISA's, high interest accounts, on the stockmarket etc etc

but he only gets £35,000 a year so he cant be the one people on this thread are talking about.
it could just be someone that plays on the stockmarket
tries to make profit by selling and buying shares? -

can you explain a investment banker then?
its better to say that you work at an investment bank - you can work in all sorts of disciplines from analyst to trader
their clients tend to be very wealthy individuals or large companies, and themselves (in terms of investing their own funds)
the term 'investment banker' is about as diverse as 'City worker' -

Investment banks are very wide companies, very wide. Some incorporate stockbroker and will do trading for their clients others will run PEPs or ISAs for their clients. others will set up funds that will invest in teh stockmarket on behald of their clients. I recently went to the AGM for Shroders' UK Growth Fund.
Generally just play around on the stock market trying to make money. There are so many different jobs inside an investment banks, analysts, traders, IT people.
Very similar are Merchant banks, Schroders are one of those. -

Investment banking, management consultancy, magic circle/US law firms, big 4 accountancy firms.
Mind you, you very much earn your money there - when you look at it in terms of hourly rates, it's often not such a great deal. Also bear in mind that you will spend more on food/taxis/dry cleaning/cleaners etc as you just won't have the time to do it.
Think very carefully about what's more important to you - time to have a life, see your friends and family, or money. If you enjoy the job, go for it, but if it is just for the money, have a long think about it when it finally comes to making choices.
