There are lots of "careers" that are a younger person's viable options imo, but that is "pretty green grass" on the other side of the fence in many instances. Are you financially secure? If so, then do whatever you want to do... you've earned that option
!
Many folks leave their corporate rodeos at the peak of their careers... and never look back while in their 40s too... YMMV.
Hope that helps

.... while not executive level, I decided I wasn't gonna "work on Maggie's farm no more" at 48. No regrets and no looking back either... but where did the last 13 years go
?
Best to you and good luck!
