What have you enjoyed the most about PE?

The title says it all. I am curious as to what you enjoyed the most about PE particularly compared to your time in IB if you came from there.

Would also be curious to know about working in PEs in different geographies if you have worked in different locations (particularly the cultural differences and other dynamics).

Thanks!
