I couldn’t think of anything that doesn’t sound like an insult, besides “steep learning curve”. Thanks!

I am only a sophomore so take with a grain of salt (however, have been told this by a million analysts): demonstrate that you understand how tedious the work is. Say, "I'm recruiting for IB, I know the hours will be intense and the work sometimes tedious, BUT..." and turn that negative into a positive. They want to see that you understand what will be expected of you and that you are committed to the job (aka, won't quit after 3 months as a FT analyst). When I've used this approach when talking in interviews or just on informational calls, I have found that this type of answer gets the other person to open up a bit and see you more as a peer.
They won't find an answer like this insulting in the least. It shows you have done your research and know what a junior banker actually does. GL
