Mortgage desks are usually at the top of the food chain, especially at banks that have strong securitization platforms as traders have constant deal flow to work with. Credit would probably be second, along with ABS. HY Credit is strong, and then Muni's would follow. Money Markets would be last in line, short term products generate less P&L as a whole. Keep in mind if you're at somewhere like BAML, credit will be number one as they're book runner on like > 20% of all transactions done annum so it's heavily dependent on the bank. As far as learning FI as a whole, my favorite is Bodie Kane - it's the book that got me into the industry.
