TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics

I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first. Also, I want to move beyond standart model. I don’t want recommendations such as slowing down, but my question is, what comprehensive texts with lots of problems in it do you recommend me after finishing sakurai?

Maybe Atkinson and Johnson, Exercises in Quantum Field Theory. It's like a textbook written completely in the form of completely solved exercises.
The same authors wrote also Quantum Field Theory A Self-Contained Course, which has a form of a normal textbook, with a lot of unsolved exercises at the end of each chapter.

Depending on what your goal is, separately or as a complementary reading to Atkinson & Johnson, read all the books written by the English professors D. Bailin and A. Love on QFT, SUSY, and Strings. They are written in the "no-nonsense" style that you may find Landau & Lifschitz's "Mechanics" famous for. An alternative would be the books by Pierre Ramond.
