Xeptu's advice is good. Hang in there until you get your command. Give it a couple of years beyond that. If it still sucks, plan to get out then, but bide your time and maybe pick up a corporate jet job instead of going back to bugsmashers. Which neither pay well nor are all that satisfying to fly after the good gear.
If you do not do this, in later life you may have regrets. Because it really is a one way ticket once you quit airlines and go back to G .A. Also, G.A. is not the freewheeling industry it once was. All the peripheral bull**** from high vis vests to dealing daily with the security goons is there, as well.
This, from someone who is now a 'has been' but better a has-been than a 'never was'.
