Not sober by any means but from what I hear about both of my parents who were doctors they pulled these types of hours for very minimal pay around this age group. Maybe it’s the cause and not the actual hours. Feel like if I was pulling 2-3 days in a row to save someones Life I’d be way more fired up than ripping through a deck for someone. Can’t tell if the issue with this job is the actual hours or the fact that the work is extremely non-rewarding

Doctors are usually pulling long hours during residency, which is the first time they actually get to do what they were working towards for almost the last decade (4 years of undergrad and 4 years of med school). Of course, it's going to be exciting. Sure, you could say banking is what we've been working towards during undergrad, but the majority of us weren't as interested in the job itself but more so the other benefits like prestige, compensation and exit opps.
This is also what makes IB so hard when pulling these hours: you're not really enjoying the job itself and don't really have a plan either for the rest of your life given there are so many options after banking (you could say most have a goal of PE but that outlook might change once you're in banking and realize it may not be what you want). With medicine, you at least have the goal that you're working towards of becoming an independent physician after residency.
Just my $0.02 as someone who is leaving banking to pursue medicine.
