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.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
