> I write a lot of software for my job (although it’s not my title) and I’ve been thinking of trying for pure software jobs even if the work is more boring (I do semiconductor R&D)
This sounds like me in a past life. I assure you: It's worth the change. (Often) Easier work. Paid more. Treated better. Nicer work environment. It's worth it even if the pay were the same.
Also, with SW roles in your resume, you can then find jobs outside the semiconductor industry. Lots more options available to you.
