Careers in IB

Can anyone point me to a book, post, or resource that comprehensively discusses the different careers in investment banking? I am curious to make a switch in my career.. and I was hoping to find information discussing this.. such as M&A, trading desks, buyside vs sell, corporate finance etc..

thank you
