You usually can't go from a lucrative career where you have a lot of experience to an unrelated career where you have no experience without taking a big paycut.

You usually can't go from a lucrative career where you have a lot of experience to an unrelated career where you have no experience without taking a big paycut. If you need to maintain your salary, it'd be much, much easier to figure out how to fix your burnout. Failing that, you can possibly maintain your salary with a lateral move to a role that deals with developers without doing any development directly - most likely product management. This move is most likely to be successful at the company you're currently with, because they already know you - it's harder to change companies and functional roles simultaneously without taking that salary reduction.
