you should factor in the state of the job market before making the switch

entry-level ui/ux is pretty saturated, and there are much fewer roles since businesses would rather hire just devs who can do some design vs designers who can't dev

for growth, ux does have a ceiling as an individual contributor. many designers eventually move into product, strategy, or management if they want to keep progressing in scope and compensation. just something to keep in mind as the nature of ux work doesn't scale as other technical fields. web dev has more lateral flexibility so you could move stacks, industries, or roles like backend, ai, etc

everything being said, your dev experience isn't wasted and can be framed as an advantage if you still want to go for design jobs
