How much research and memo writing do you do once you are called to the Bar

I am currently doing accelerated CPLED. I summered at a large law firm. During my 1L &2L summers the only thing I ever did was research and write memos. In CPLED there is also a decent amount or researching and memo writing. I am realizing I don’t actually like researching the law for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. How much researching and memo writing is involved once you are actually practicing?

I understand there might be a lot in the litigation practice areas. But more specifically, how much is there in corporate M&A, banking and Finance, securities, real estate, bankruptcy and tax.

I think id be more interested in the transactional practice areas, but don’t really understand what their work produce even looks like as I was not exposed to it during my summers. I assume lots of these practice areas people are just drafting contracts? (with the exception of bankruptcy)
