And what's the most mind numbingly boring, mundane Corporate BigLaw practice area?

I'm just a 2L but based on my conversation with lawyers so far, I'd say it's RX and M&A (for two questions in order)

M&A/Capital Markets is going to be ass and completely boring as a junior.

Pretty much any niche specialty will be considerably more interest as a junior.

Easily the most boring is 34 act work for reporting companies.

Thanks for the responses so far.

Where would you rank investment management (fund formation)? Both transactional and advisory.
