Thought I wanted to be a Dev

I went to school for software engineering and got a job right after in a technical help desk position.

I've been in a training program for a developer role , after a few months being a dev I just don't want to continue anymore and return to my old responsibilities.

There are so many deadlines, constant stress, overtime hours since I don't know what I'm doing most of the time, constant learning about the tech stack. My work life balance has been terrible.

I was much happier dealing with bugs reported and finding what is causing the issue vs actually fixing them.

I have come to the realization I do not want to be a developer anymore.

Am I throwing away a great opportunity here? The increase in pay just does not seem worth it.
