Few weeks into my SA stint in London and already have strong feelings about not liking it. I’m getting the baby treatment, and even then hours are too long, the work isn’t interesting and I feel culturally misaligned.
Kind of panicking knowing I’m graduating next year, passed every loop, and still feel completely lost.

lool, this reminds me of myself also interning at a BB in London.
I just tell myself that’s it’s good experience, or rather it will be perceived as good experience by others. It’s also good to cancel stuff from the careers list during an internship. So I’d say stay the summer, get paid, and thoroughly reflect on what you want to do in life.
Best of luck!
solid perspective - more likely than not we’re at the same bank lol
good luck bro :)
