Do you find your job exciting?

Until junior recruiting season started, I thought I was pretty set on S&T as I'm a mathematical person who likes markets. However, after talking to a lot of people in IB, I've been impressed by how they get to work on something that really matters and how much you learn. I've also been told by some friends to never do IB because they think the work is boring and the hours are too much. I was hoping to get some candid perspectives here - do many people here enjoy their work in IB?

I hope this is better than the last batch of shit you gave me. Produced more wood than Ron Jeremy. I don't want you to yell, "Reco!" anymore. Know what you should yell? "Timber!" Yeah, Mr. Fuckin' wood.
