There is no right answer. What are you solving for?

Stuck in between wanting to make great $, but wanting to have time for having dinner w my wife, work out, spend time w loved ones, and not worry so much about potential work on the weekends 😂

Seems like corp dev is a good “in-between”

Id say depends on how well you allocate personal assets and money to grow while you work, especially because it sounds like you want the WLB
