Does high pay = harder work, longer hours?

How many of you are making 110k+, working 30-40 hrs a week, and generally have a low stress job?

I've got a cushy job. I work about 35 hrs/wk, managing 3 analysts who do excel and SQL+Tableau. I make 75k, low cost of living area, fully remote, unlimited PTO. I could actually do my job passably in 20 hrs a week--only my pride and desire to advance keeps me working.

I've got a Master's in Analytics, and could start down a path of data science "proper"-- building and deploying predictive models, building SWE skills, etc. But my work+life balance rocks. I'm afraid to give up this job and then never find another like it.

With 6 YOE, management experience, and a MS, I could easily make 6 figures somewhere. What are the odds that if I switch jobs a couple times, I'll eventually find something like what I have now, but with better pay?

Would I be crazy to leave what I have?

Edit: thanks for the comments, please keep them coming. Thus far, Mostly people telling me that it is doable--you CAN have it all. Dissenting opinions welcomed.
