Better life

What do you think would make your work experience better?

A lot of people are unhappy with IB but aside from the Hours and occasional hierarchy bs, what do you think would make you enjoy your job more?

Curious on what everyone says: assuming your hours stay the same what aspects of your job do you think would be better or what realistic thing would make your work more enjoyable?
