I did; but I went back to school and got another bachelors in CS. I love it. I never really felt meaning from consulting/business type jobs. As an engineer I feel like I am creating real value and building something. I had been in my career for 6 years before switching.
Might want to look at a Solutions Engineer type roll. May be a bit of an easier initial transition.

It’s a career change.
There are no generic pros and cons about a career change. It needs to be based on your personal goals and interests. Why do you think it’s an option for you?

I'm trying to do the opposite lol. I'm a 6 years software engineer trying to move to more of a people role.
If your programming skills are stellar you should give it a shot. I see tons of software management jobs that require programming abilities. You might want to consider that instead of full on pivot.
If you have interest and have technical knowledge you should. Because in technical you have to be updated.
I moved from engineering role to PM. Engineering can be really boring. What you get to do daily at work is so different from what you do when you learn cording. They say you can make your life more interesting by learning new libraries… to be able to do same boring things but in a different way.

Writing code usually isn't the interesting part of software engineering, much like pouring concrete isn't the interesting part of building a bridge. It can be fun on occasion, don't get me wrong, but IME satisfaction comes from the challenge of the objective it achieves, not the process of coding itself.
Yep you need to learn those coding skills in some way, and constantly updating yourself and problem solving using codes are keys
