The jump from frontend to backend isn't insurmountable as you make it be. Many programmers are competent at both. There is shared knowledge and knowing both trades actually makes you a better developer, as you can reason about requirements and architecture in a more holistic way. I would suggest you only quit your job if you find another one where you can be in a mixed-talent team and take on both roles. This way you get paid and learn.
