Do/did you enjoy working in investment banking?

Hell yes.

It's incredibly intellectually challenging, and it pushes you to be at the top of your game, and forces you to be able to play a lot of games at the same time.

There are some analogies that give you a sense of the feeling of investment banking.  Imagine Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon.  Just seeing massive torrents of water flowing from point A to point B, or seeing how water can carve out a canyon over millions of years is pretty damn amazing.  Now imagine, being somewhere that you can watch and feel tens of billions of dollars moving from point A to point B.  That's pretty damned cool.

Also, you can feel the earth move.  On a day to day level, you can see markets open and close, but you also feel the continents move.  You feel empires rising and falling.
