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!
