If you were coming from a different background (ex: manual labor / blue collar) and it would be a step-up I would consider it. For you, no matter how you slice it, this will be a step down and even if you were to get parity with your current profession it would be a grind. I'm in my 40's and have been slinging code my entire career. I still (mostly) enjoy it but it is work and I no longer do much coding outside of work for fun.
