How to quiet quit

Hey all,

I'm a 2nd year analyst who has decided he will not be staying on at the end of my stint. I basically have decided what I'm doing immediately post-banking and it isn't a jump to the buyside or B-school. I really need to "check-out" for these last few months but am finding it impossible to do so. I understand the market was entirely different last year but the my seniors who left were extremely checked out around Feb / March & the ones who stayed on were almost as busy as I am even back then.

I keep getting handed deliverables and strict deadlines and am expected to meet them. Am unable to pawn off things to my 1st years due to their workload and my experience needed. Continue to work brutal nights and am tired. I don't care about a shitty bonus, I just want to make it to the finish line. Does anyone have any tips? A wrinkle is that I quite like the people I'm on deals with at the moment so if I unnecessarily push back or have a idgaf attitude, it will definitely adversely affect their lives and crush them extra, which I'd like to avoid.
