Depends on what level are you trying to acquire. I know you’re an associate, but for all the analysts, interns or anyone soon to be interviewing for analyst positions I recommend reading the “Investment Banking: Valuation, LBO’s and M&A” textbook by Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl, and to combine this with the Breaking Into Wall street 400 Questions to be prepared for interviews

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
