This is very insightful and perceptive, especially for just doing a 3 month internship. I agree with pretty much all of it. However - you'll find most people hate IB for the same reasons, but also know their only way to more interesting roles like private equity, hedge funds, and more is to do investment banking first. Engineering is no doubt more challenging in many respects; IB after a certain point becomes more about endurance, politics, and being good at repetition. But it's still a high-paying job, a gateway to other more interesting careers, and at least for me, a good way to develop a crazy disciplined work ethic. I'm sure you can get many of those other ways too - just thought this was worth mentioning.
