I have recently purchased the Investment Banking: Valuation, LBOs, M&A, and IPOs (Book + Valuation Models) by Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl.
If I read this and know it well is that enough to perform well in technical questions at interview for IB internship and analyst roles?
It has downloadable excel models as well.
Any advice is helpful!

Please do not read that entire book
I mean I’ll read as much as I can? But is that enough? It has downloadable models as well for practice so surely I don’t need to do more than that?
I don’t think you need to read the book at all. IB recruitment will focus a lot more on how likable you are + luck (depending on your school) then knowing what’s in that book. It goes way more in depth than you’ll ever need to know and reading it will be a complete waste of time. The modeling practice and all that isn’t very important either. I’d focus on resources like the WSP red book, breaking into Wall Street 400 questions and hammering your behavioral answers instead of reading that book and practicing modeling templates.
You still need to understand 3 statement accounting questions which I know are not covered.
Ok thanks.
