A warning: once you do your hobby as your day job, it stops being as fun and rewarding as it was when it was a hobby. You sort of lose the hobby: after 40 hours of work, it is far less appealing to work on your game side project
It is probably a good plan to just keep a normal high paying software job and do game jams on the side, maybe work on your side project over the years. That way you won’t lose the joy.
If you do work in games full time though, your game dev skills will grow far faster though
