I have had similar thoughts lately, I currently work in govt in a job that isvery secure but isn't everything it could be. The thing that puts me off it is the unknowns around generative AI over the next few years - the cost of creating software is plummeting and the barriers to entry are dropping, language translation tools are going to enable a lot of high quality international developers (read: India) to better compete for remote work. Of course the flip side is a big increase in demand when there are lower costs, maybe it's the best time to do it.
