How common is boring work in your company?

So I work in a big tech, not specifically FAANG, but we have similar culture. Came here after working in a small company for 3 years, and have been here for almost an year.

I do not find any fun in the work I do here. Either it is mostly writing configs, or figuring out things in the dev-productivity features specific to our company (the irony) or working on services that have almost zero users.

Talking to folks from other teams, I realized that this is common in some ways. Either the product does not have users and we over engineer which is frustrating. Or if the product has users, we have so much testing and reviews and stuff, that a 1 month project lasts for 4-5 months. In both cases, most devs are doing boring, brain-dead work for 80 percent of time.

Now I want to know is it common across big tech? Will doing this work make me a worse engineer in a few year and maybe unhirable? How to find teams that actually do some quaity work that needs you to actively think?

I cant seem to decide if I want to switch to some other team, some other company or just give up everything and join an early age startup where we still have good things to build.

Edit: I am in india, and I feel this is more common here. Maybe because of the low pays, or the leadership being in US. Would like to know folks thoughts on this also.

Edit 2: To all folks who are telling about processes and how they are frustrating, I get you. But my post is not about that. I am ready to get multiple reviews for a well thought design, or PR. My post is about doing non challenging tasks, like update these 10 yaml to fit the new schema that we will change after 6 months again. This is 100% of my job, not 50, not 80. Or change the call to lib_A to use the new function we have created.
