I'm not in finance sector. But I do come across this website, where it describes what's IB and how to get in:

Finance Careers: Investment Banking Analyst

Another "fun" book to read about IB (and how to get into) is: Liar's Poker

Liar's Poker: Michael Lewis: 9780393338690: Amazon.com: Books

They're in Wall Street context. I thought it might be applicable here (except the pay differences maybe), as still the same bulge bracket firms.

In short, IB career = selling your own soul and life to the Bank for top and smart monies. Perhaps, someone can provide insights in local context.
