Do you have a good relationship with your MD? I recently switched firms and I swear my new MD hates me. I’m not sure why or what I need to do to get on his good side.

Some MDs are natural dicks, some are okay to get along with. It’s really the roll of the dice here. All you can do is not let it get to you personally and try to do good work

If someone exhibits a problematic personality, the best approach is usually to just keep your head down and work away and avoid any conflict. The old "choose your battles" advice never lets you down. But it's also good to have a bit of patience, some people are just hard to read and what scans as hostility may just be that they're distracted and they may, perhaps, become something akin to personable.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
