Not a software engineer, but work closely with them in a different field. This is 100% common, especially for junior devs.
My honest advice is to push with it and truly spend some time in the field, and if you hate it, then leave without regrets. However, know that the initial bump is the hardest, over time it gets easier and you’ll even likely find yourself doing side projects on your own time!
Just my 2 cents.
