Lifestyle jobs for 1st year analysts?

Hello monkeys,

Been on the desk for a few months now and quickly realizing this is not for me. I don’t enjoy the work much and just don’t have much motivation for it which slows me/stresses me out further. Understand what I’d be giving up but the jobs been taking a toll on my health and mental and honestly just looking to get my life back to do my own thing/have lost any and all sense of motivation for the future. Am fortunate enough to have a bit of savings to fall back on and don’t mind a significant pay cut but what are some coasting/relaxing roles I can look into and begin recruiting for? (ideally fully or majority remote) have began looking at corp dev and FP&A positions but is there anything else that won’t require me to sit on Excel and PPT for most of the day? I guess I’m asking for too much ? Kind of lost and just looking to bounce as soon as my bonus comes in.

Thanks
