It depends what kind of group/bank you're interviewing at, but one chapter I think gets overlooked is the sell-side M&A process. Especially if you have M&A experience, it is expected that you have a comprehensive understanding of the deal process from start to finish. You can be a DCF & LBO expert, but if you get asked what a 'CIM' is and get caught like a deer in headlights, your technical knowledge is meaningless.

 

I've heard it covers way more than what's need when interviewing and since I've started going over the BIWS technical guide recently I wanted to supplement that with Pearl & Rosenbaum, but only the relevant parts to interviews. Basically I haven't yet learned the underlying material.
