What desks has the highest learning curve?

I'll be joining my bank's S&T desk as an intern soon and so far I'm pretty interested in the more quant-y desks but was just wondering what the learning curve is like for different desks out there. 

If someone could provide some insight that would be great, thanks in advance!
