Best books for Mergermodelling/Broader banking

CUrious to hear people's latest "must reads" / books or specific online lessons/courses that they found invaluable. The general consensus is do WSO or BIWS course. I've had subscription to the latter and whilst helpful have not found it a complete reference point.

Personal benefit has come from Rosenbaum book + models (and actually revisiting the book having gained some first hand experience. Didnt realise the value of re-reading)

Any specific books diving into practical theory/modelling application for broad models/specifically mergermodels/growth financing/early stage would be welcome as they are lightly touched topics

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Very patient in explanation and was very good at walking me through some of the concepts without giving anything away. Great job breaking up the material and asking questions outside of the 400 guide which really tested my knowledge on some of the more basic concepts I thought I had a good understanding of, but might need to learn a little more. Will continue to schedule Consatantin as I thought the overall ease of the scheduling was nice, and he was more that available to go over the origonal time we had planned out.”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Michael was a huge help getting me ready for my Lazard HireVue. I came in with a lot of good material but my answers were running long and I kept rambling through my stories. He walked me through each one and helped me cut them down so they were concise and hit the main points without losing what makes them mine. He was honest about what was not working and gave me clear ways to fix it instead of just general advice. I left the call feeling way more confident and organized going into the interview. I would definitely work with him again.”
