I know a condensed matter postdoc who told me he felt ready to tackle the Feynman lectures only after he had completed his phd....

Some techniques are non-obvious like choosing coordinate systems to make integrals easier, clever contours when applying residue theorem, change of variables using orthogonal matrices to diagonalize symmetric matrices, etc.
