An investment banker is someone who issues and sells securities for large corps. and governments, helps investers purchase securities, and provide financial advice. They also help companies merge.

They get big payoffs though, with the average salary ranging from $80,000-150,000 a year, not to mention the huge bonuses.
An investment bank is a financial institution that raises capital, trades securities and manages corporate Mergers and Acquisitions, I know one Investment Banker and Company Adam Roseman from Arc China, You can also get more information from Arcchina.cn
For a first-year analyst, the most junior position, $80k-$120k (including bonus). It rises significantly year on year; and a good MD, the most senior 'normal' position, might expect to earn $1-3MM. Group heads and C-level executives can earn much more than that.

You should keep in mind however, that the majority of bankers finish after 3 years in the business, and probably only 5% become MDs.
An investment banker looks for investors and advices them accordingly on the various investment opportunities and plans.

Answer 2

An Investment Bank is a financial institution that deals with raising capital, trading in securities, and managing corporate mergers and acquisitions. An Investment Banker decides where the money of the investment bank is best used/invested and then crafts the deal to use/invest that money. Let's say I sold ten houses and I have ten mortgages that are worth a total of ten million dollars when finally paid off in thirty years. I don't want to wait 30 years for my cash, so I put my ten mortgages in a bundle and will sell it for four million dollars right now. An investment banker might help someone buy my bundle (like a bank would), might buy my bundle for their investment bank itself (like an investor would), might buy the bundle for a client (like a broker would), or might help me sell the bundle (like a realtor would). Once real money has been turned into paper documents, the investment bankers buy, sell, trade, and broker those documents around.
