I've sort of been in a similar position in the last 2-3 years. I jumped ship because i got tired of an older career where i spent 15 years, hoping I'd get into consulting and work on startup projects I like. I'll be honest and say it didn't go as planned and sometimes i wish i didn't jump ship that fast even though i am a very calculating individual. To be fair though, if you have a very long financial runway and you got a very strong support system, both of which i didn't have, your risk might be less. But the risk is there.
