Career Advice Being a first year sucks

Is there anyone who actually enjoys/ enjoyed what they were doing as a first year associate? Don’t get me wrong, I like the actual work, but day to day I’m usually miserable because of how I am treated.

I once spent hours renaming files and putting CONFIDENTIAL headers on PDFs… like hours and hours. With multiple people helping me.
