I feel the same way about audit. Half the job is to literally redo someone else's work.
Been doing taxes for 20+ years and never find it boring. Every return is a peek into somebody else's life and there is great job satisfaction taking a huge pile of documents (sometimes 500+) and converting it to a return. And then telling the owner how a change here & there could help them save a fortune. Try it some time!

And sometimes not even redo it... just find it other places and put tickmarks everywhere. It's so dumb
If it were truly so mindnumbing, a robot would be doing it by now. We have to analyze a trial balance to determine, based on our knowledge of GAAP and tax law, it there should be a book/tax adjustment. If anything, it is a brain exploding job rather than mind numbing.
It's definitely mind numbing and boring. I can't wait to gtfo of here
Money getting money is good
Tax is definitely not mind numbing unless your mind is already numb
I agree @TSA1 and @PWC1. I find audit provision assists mind numbingly boring
I just think about how I would KMS if I had to be an auditor with 2 monitors
Better than auditing and doing cash recs
I find tax to be like a puzzle. It always keeps me on my toes and thinking about why a certain number is being pulled to a particular line, then how I can change it in the software. I dabble in audit too and that's pretty much SALY which is boring as hell.
There mind numbing aspects and there are good aspects. Documenting audit of a provision? Boooooooring. Trying to understand what happened and what adjustments are there on an audit? Interesting. The company purchased someone? Interesting. Loss company tax return with no real tax activity? Boring. Prepare a provision from scratch? Interesting.

Took me on three different assignments to Paris, London & Singapore...Does audit do that? Seriously, I don't know what audit does, I'm a JD/LLM, hence tax was my only option.
