It is true that being a developer is not for everyone. That said, it is important to note that the environment you're in has a massive impact on job satisfaction. Personally, I've worked at small, medium and large companies, as well as those which have transitioned. Large companies do have the benefit of having more access to resources, but it takes a certain kind of person to fit into the kind of small box that they tend to put people into, as the corporate need to minimize risk tends to limit the amount of change any individual can effect. Small and medium size companies are the ones where an individual can make a difference in the code / product that is being worked on. Figure out what you want to get out of your career. If you're not happy with what you're doing, try something else. Being 3 years out of college means you've got plenty of time to find out what kind of work environment works for you.
