Why do you like your job?

I'm trying for IBD internship roles in London after MSc. And use the WSO for advice. A lot of posts I've read literally are about how nightmarish IBD is.

So, tell me, apart from comp, what makes the job good? Is the modelling intellectually engaging? Does constantly working make you good at your job? In terms of London IBD exits, if you don't work at a BB, is your life over? 

Can anyone tell me why I should stick with this process and not try for ER lmao. Jokes aside, tell me, why IBD worked for you?
