It’s one thing if the main reason you hated the job because the modeling was too hard (likely never would be able to structure deals anyway). Most people hate it for the opposite reason - its doing something for the millionth time for it to end up being reverted in the next set of comments with no incremental learning

Met a guy in uni that just had a burning passion for finance / banking. There was just something different about this guy - you could feel the energy behind his interest. One smart mf’er that went from a top bank to HF very quickly. (From a non-target, too)
Thanks buddy, +1. Can you go deeper, for example, things he did, situations he went through, etc. more sb’s if you do

To answer your question if I have stories about anyone who was truly passionate about these things: No.
Those people seem to be exceedingly rare, not unlike those freaks who are actually into tax law.
