You’re missing recent RX trends/developments: “liability management”, non pro rata up-tiering, Serta and controversial rulings (pros please chime in and add-on). I interviewed at the graduate level so obviously difficulty is way easier, but I went through the materials from Restructuring Interviews dot com which massively helped my preparation. The whole packet has advanced stuff even for laterals at the experienced hire level. I’d say don’t allocate “percentages” of importance and in turn effort exerted to each topic, just full send on everything that way you will be completely covered. Good luck!
