I was once like you. And I'm here (~50 yrs old) to tell you the experience you are gaining right now is setting you up for great success in the future, should you choose to stay in the field of software. I mostly worked at small companies for the first 80% of my career where I wore many hats. Then I moved to a larger, more corporate employer and was astounded and how little experience my colleagues had with databases / message queues / mail systems / ad servers / analytics / monitoring / alerting / etc. All that to say it sounds like what you are learning in your current role is extremely valuable; worth so much more than your paycheck[1]. 1. offer only applies if you are young-ish and planning to stay in this industry. good luck!
