I feel similarly about data science and I'm already a few years into it. But I don't think that's too relevant. Also, I don't get how people can study at university and work full time but I've heard that a few times from Russians so I just assume that it's a thing.

Positives for you:

- you're still at university and you already have work experience

- you haven't sunk years into a career you don't like

- you're employed and earning some money

- you're figuring out what's for you and what isn't

- you have some coding experience

It really seems like you should look for a SWE job, I don't think there's much more to it. What makes it difficult is everything that's going on in Russia and the fact that you want to move to a different country. But on every other dimension it seems like you're in a great spot.
