A night of ugly crying in my hotel because of how much I hate my job has made me realize I need OUT...what was the turning point that made you finally realize you needed to leave?

OP and P1, please either find work that you enjoy and that is less stressful, or find ways to cope (setting boundaries, creating wirk/life balance, finding a team where you feel respected). Life is too short, and this is not for everyone by any means.

If a job is making you that upset and unhappy you really should reconsider your career, you have only one life, don’t waste it doing things you hate! This being said I have my ups and downs in this business too, I didn’t cry this week, but on a couple of mornings I didn’t want to get out of bed, didn’t want to face my day... just think about the bigger picture. If it’s a temporary lull, try to stay the course, if it’s a more systemic issue, time to reconsider !

Moment I realized was after spending all night editing a deck, only to "not have time" to go over it in the meeting the next day. That analyst lesson made me sure I'd leave. I theoretically have more dignity than that

D3 you are dead on. A little praise and appreciation goes a very long way, and people doing a good job deserve to hear that occasionally. Wanting that isn't remotely like expecting "a prize for doing your job," as A1 put it. If you want to motivate people and earn their respect, recognize them for their efforts. That is an important part of how I manage people (and how I treat people in general).

A1, I agree with your subsequent comment about sleeping well at night knowing that you worked hard and did a good job, and not simply taking your cues from feedback (or lack thereof).
