I did just that 2 years ago, when I was 29. So far, I don't regret the decision.

But please bare in mind, I didn't really like my job as a software developer, and upon being cautioned about the drawbacks of academia by a tenure track professor I reached out to for advice, I simply shrugged and told him: "What's the worst thing that can happen - I'll end up being a software developer for 35 years instead of 40?" He immediately agreed that if that's the way I look at it, it probably makes sense to make the jump.
