Has anyone switched to product based company after 8 years of working in service based companies?

I have switched product based company after 6+ years of experience. You can get good money in product based company but there are more downsides then benefits
1) There will not be any work life balance.
2) You always need to push yourself to keep update yourself between your busy schedule.
3) There will be less job security then service based companies.

At last my suggestion is that if you are ready to do hustle every day and want to become the expert in your technology then give it a shot but if you are a senior developer and want a peace of mind then don’t go for it.

Have any of you made a switch after working for a few years? When I started undergrad I wanted to work with renewable energy. Not at all disappointed to be in aerospace but I want to explore a pivot. Something like wind or wave power seems like it would be much riskier but also has more room for innovation.
