Before making the "jump", I recommend you take a leave of absence for 1 ~ n months.
Go live abroad, make new friends, shake up your day-to-day, challenge yourself in non-tech ways.
Then after n months test how you feel about going back to work (and to your high salary).
If you're dreading it like it's torture, there's a strong indicator you should be thinking of alternatives.
