Does anyone actually like their job?

Hello all,

I am a current undergrad that just signed an offer for a FT IB position after graduation. After reading all the threads about 1st years quitting or having breakdowns, it makes me wonder, are there any analysts here that like their jobs? If so are you east / west coast? what makes it "doable" for you? is the culture good?

Thanks.
