Investment banking is financial advisory, you are on the sell-side, which means you sell securities to investors. Private equity is investing/buy-side, you invest money you have raised and the firm's partners' money in companies with growth potential. You are on the buy-side, which means you buy securities as an investor. Additionally, private equity firms are sometimes involved in the management of their portfolio companies.
