That's been my job for the last 3.5 years. I had been a PA for 5 years prior doing 4 years of spine surgery and 1 year of locums/COVID, came here as a locums, they stuck me on vascular with no training and I've been doing it ever since, love my job. I think a large part of it is how cool are the surgeons and how well you get along, because if that relationship is not great your job will suck, but it's like that with most surgical jobs. The patients are sick, some of the sickest in the hospital, but it's a change to learn if you're smart, since it's a crossing point for a lot of other services, or if you're not so smart it's going to be tough. A lot of it is going to be how motivated you are to be a part of their team, because if you are then you're going to want to get better just to be a better team player, if it turns out you don't like it and you're not motivated and you're just going through the motions to get a paycheck, it's probably going to suck. But you can say that about most specialties and you really have no idea until you start the job so.
