I agree. Completely.

In my first job I thought I had to know everything, I'm not talking about the project itself, I'm talking about the internals of how the language was compiled, how the intermediate code would look like...

I had to quit in 7 months because I was burned out and starting to develop a depression (Well, if I don't know anything, how will I survive in this business?).

That depression took almost 3 years of my life. Of course YMMV, but, as @buphmin said "do what makes you happy and don't feel bad about it"
