Why not get a PPL and enjoy flying as a hobby. Do enough hours and become an FI on the weekends at a local flying club.
You are in a good career, well paid, good work-life balance.
That will all go out of the proverbial window for the next 5 years at least. Then hope you get a nearby base when you get a job, you'll be there for 3-4 years or uproot and move elsewhere.
