2. The learning curve is very steep and the work is extremely difficult (as compared to what is learnt in uni), thus more academically challenging?

I know that it probably is due to both factors, but which is it more of?
Going out to work for my first full time job soon and I'm pretty scared and wish to know what to expect roughly!

Thank you
Coming from 3 years of experience in a Big 4, I would say it's 99% option 1 and 1% option 2. The work is dead simple once you get the hang of it, but there's a hell lot of work to do and not enough people to go around. You will grind grind grind for **** pay and long hours and at the end, wonder if it's all worth it.
