I made this change a year ago for similar reasons to you - I didn't want to be coding for the rest of my career. I can say this is one of the decisions in my career that I truly regret. For me at least, it felt like I was completely starting over. My comp was a modest bump (a 20% increase but with a much bigger portion of that being variable and not guaranteed.) The skills I have been developing are sales/ storytelling skills. I rarely end up writing any code. Unless the thing you are missing in your current role is talking to customers I personally think there is a lot more opportunity as a software engineer with a business focused mindset.
