Please suggest, Is it good to switch from QA to Development (Frontend) after working 10 years in QA?

I have exposure to JavaScript/Typescript in test automation. Thinking now to shift from QA to React.JS development. Capable to creating small apps using React.JS.

What i have seen in my experience is development guys are getting paid well than QA. if i think of future QA ultimately boils down to handling people as you get promoted, rather than remaining close to technology.
