A job, or more generally work is a noun which cannot attract any good adjectives. People may say various things about their jobs. "I love my job!" or "My job is very interesting" or "I have complete job satisfaction". People who run after job satisfaction are trying to catch a ghost.
The key to job satisfaction or interesting work is non-monotonicity. You don't want job satisfaction. You want job rotation! Be it any kind of job. If you are asked to do it forever, it will ultimately become boring. If you want to maintain excitement, you must try and do different things.
Most employers today are resistant to practice job rotation for their employees fearing they would lose expertise. However, what is stopping them to gain expertise in multiple fields? It is the result of this resistance that the attrition rates are so high these days.
