Check out Developer Hegemony by Erik Dietrich. I am an engineer at heart but this book convinced me to move into management.
I will push back. Relatively good senior engineer (that can leetcode) will cap out at 400-500k. I think if one can code and likes to, this is a great deal. There are alot of companies hiring in this range.
Management is in some ways more fungible, the pay is higher, but there are less roles. Senior developers have a relatively meritocratic hiring process and there is a lot more demand.

Long time ago, I did a little bit of photography as a side-hustle. It sucked the joy out of photography until I stopped doing it as a side-hustle. It has been a long time since I enjoyed programming at my 9-5.
