Should I be stressed out about this job if I am planning on quitting in a few months?

I'm an AN1 and am not doing okay tbh. The long hours (80 hours a week on average) are taking a toll on my physical and mental health and I just recognize that this is not something that I want to in the long term. I have an exit lined up that is not finance related, but is something that I am way more interested in. On days where I am getting absolutely fucked in the office, I sometimes wonder "is all this stress worth it if I'm going to leave in the next few months when my bonus hits my bank account?".

Am I good to just chill out for the time being and slowly stop giving a fuck? I have gotten mostly positive feedback from my team (I try to ask every few months), but have a nagging feeling that they're blowing smoke up my ass and that I am going to be super blindsided in my year end review. Maybe it's just the depression kicking in, but I have a feeling that I'm going to be below average to bottom bucket. There's probably not much I can even do to change my perception at this point, so I might as well not even stress out about it.

Is this the right mentality or should I just be a hardo these next few months, even at the expense of my health?

If you respect/like your associates I would keep up the effort. I wouldn't want to screw them over with more work. It's easier when the end is in sight.

If they are jerks tho then I'd prob ease up a bit. Just my $0.02
