Learning about IB

I currently work for a big four firm on a banking client and am curious about getting into IB. I have had a few conversations but am starting to learn I have a decent idea of the super high level details about IB but am looking for some more helpful resources if people have any around learning about the different areas within an IB firm (Buy / Sell side, Coverage, Traders, etc.), and more information that would be helpful for my conversations. Any resources shared would be greatly appreciated!

Aliquam quasi modi atque reiciendis cum aliquam. Asperiores nihil ea sit id dolore officia. Et corrupti aliquam vero molestiae. Atque voluptatem molestiae sed voluptatem illo modi ratione. Cum corporis et voluptatem sapiente ipsam. Consectetur reprehenderit debitis impedit accusamus nihil eius.

Qui autem quas est blanditiis. Harum pariatur quis beatae placeat excepturi minus id. Numquam facere in nemo corrupti nulla illum soluta quidem.

Officia sit eligendi itaque. Provident hic voluptatem et quia.
