Career Advice/Advisors (Investment Banking)

I have been looking into several area of investment banking and other similar professionals also. There are several things that different divisions in investment banking (IBD, ECM, DCM, ER, Trading etc) that I like/suit my personality/interests and also things that don't. I have seen practically every career advisor in my university and I want a fresh perspective. I can send my resume, and also a list of honest personality qualities (good and bad).

I need help finding the right fit more then 'whats the highest pay' (which is what I have been doing so far). I also have listed advantages and disadvantages for each department/role/fit which I can send.

I have completed online tests e.g. Goldman Sachs find your fit, but it is not as good as speaking to someone more experienced then a computer algorithm. haha I have read a lot of career guides and researched online. Still am really not sure what to do.

Would someone be able to advise me please?

Please let me know if you want any more info and feel free to PM me also.
