Recently got hired at a new place and I defiantly am having the same problem. There are two major hurdles: Domain knowledge and code-complexity. Then trying to dive into the countless layers of logic in the code itself.
With a large codebase, it's impossible to understand everything. So the only thing we can do is to gradually learn how it works.
Sticking with it will make you valuable to the company in time. Moving on will free your mind to do other things.
