What do I need to remember?

I recently finished up my two years in investment banking and I am about to start my PE job in the Fall. My question is how much do i need to remember about my deals and what specific things should I think about in regards to them if I were to lateral down the line to a different buy side firm (other PE or HF).

Are specific pricing metrics what I need to know or should I be aware of other specific transactions adjustments? Will it be high level or something more?

The problem is that I obviously do not have access to files anymore and some of these deals occurred over a year ago. Let me know what you guys think.
