Understand that LBO modeling is table stakes for PE recruiting, but wondering if knowing DCF or merger models is necessary too? Figure it’s better to build step by step > only knowing how to LBO model and nothing about DCFs, M&A, Comps, etc when I hit the desk

You need nothing before hitting the IB desk; on-cycle is happening 6 months into your first year now a lot of banks have pushed back. You only need an LBO for PE recruiting; I am not sure I have done a full comphrensive merger model at all in the past 1 1/2 years.
