I hate IB

Spent my whole undergrad tryharding and got into top firm (GS/MS/JPM) at top team and God do I hate my job so much.

I fantasize all the time about when this nightmare will end. Not helpful that my current team culture / camaraderie sucks and it feels like a mental torture every week.

Seriously.
