Same happened with me when I encountered egomaniacal psychopath toxic boss in my CS intership at one of the top companies.
Nevertheless, I left the same in 7 months but still get constant self doubts.
Also, one of the colleagues there had same panic attacks there and left after an year and is now doing decent.
But, ultimately you'll overcome it.
This profession becomes more stressful when you know the client is not yours, and even the money you make does not come owing to your own brand or reputations but someone else's. It stressed the Partner, most of whose emotional intelligence also gets compromised a number of times.
If you have chosen to work in a Tier-1, you need to be ready to handle the stress, knowing that most of the times the hard days are a function of these circumstances.
