I'm currently working on a very interesting problem, currently we are making software that makes automatic phonetic transcriptions: https://github.com/persephone-tools/persephone https://github.com/persephone-tools/persephone The quick summary is that you take audio files which you process then run through some models that do labelling and at the end you get out transcriptions in the international phonetic alphabet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabe... In the past I've worked on things that were very boring but also things that were very interesting, sometimes even in the same company. Even if you structure your career to try to spend as much time on interesting problems you'll still run into some boring stuff. If you really want to work on interesting problems it will likely take some effort with deliberate planning and you may end up making less money than if you did other work but these are the decisions that you will have to make. Try to find things that interest you and give you opportunities to master whatever it is, this tends to make work a lot more fulfilling whatever you do. Incidentally in this language project I've done some work on a Web API that's mostly routine but it's very satisfying because I can very directly see how it makes a lot of other people's lives a lot easier. There's some very clear impact there and it makes some otherwise routine things a lot more enjoyable.
