Went through a similar phase when I was an analyst. I found what helped a lot was to just accept your fate for two years. Yes it sucks ass aligning logos and borders at 2 AM but try to think about it more as setting yourself up for the future with an experience only a few get... I think a lot of people would kill to be in your position and at the end of the day it's two years...

Also hit the gym as much as possible, it helps, trust

1. A lot of other analysts are looking over their shoulders as their jobs are in jeopardy right now due to lack of deal flow.
2. It’s not as if you weren’t aware of the probability you’d experience toxicity in this particular industry.
3. It’s 2 years. After that you’ve got the world at your feet. Better to be working at 23 than partying with the back office dudes at some random Irish pub.
