All depends what price you want to pay. In the end you will get there....but at the expense of your social life, your marriage, health etc. Plus you might have to relocate and end up in a place you really dislike. Sounds too familiar for me.
If i were you i would continue instructing and keep on flying as a hobby. This is the only way to keep your interest with flying. I know a lot of prof. pilots who dont want to hear the word "aviation" anymore after their duties. And somehow it is a pitty since flying is an interesting fascinating thing. Now you have a nice job with a nice pay plus bonus and some future prospects. You have probably a regular life. You see your girlfriend, friends, having some hobbies, going to parties etc. If you are a professional pilot, forget all about that. I said so many times: a professional flying job is a very solitary way of living. People seem to ignore that until it is too late.
Good luck.
