Does the company/deal you're working on make a difference to you?

For the bankers, have you found that working on a deal for a company/industry you really are interested in to be much more enjoyable than working on one that you couldn't care less about?

I suppose the answer is obviously yes. But does it make that big of a difference in terms of you being motivated/less upset about having to work on the model at 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday? Does it not really matter to you over time because spreading comps, pulling 10-k figures, etc. is the same whether it's TMT, Healthcare, Energy, etc.?
