IB internship not enjoying too much for me

Im going to be honest but I do not like what Im doing. Its too much for me to take and its affecting my health. Im working as a SA at an IB. I dont know if im going to get a return offer but even if I do, how do I convey them at the end of the summer about this

probably gonna start talking to people in other finance/consulting type jobs that seem chiller soon to get a feel for whats out there and what i like. then i'll take it from there i guess. are you in nyc this summer? just wondering as id like to meet more people 

 

i feel like it's probably the best to try to get a return offer (for security reasons + other firms may ask), and once you have that you can always decline or talk to the firm's HR about moving to another division if that interests you
