Technical Lead with 8 YoE

I hope this post finds y'all well. so I'm currently working as a SDET 2 in a product base startup and my total experience is 4 years and 10 months. now I'm seeking a PM certification course from a reputed institute of India. 1) I want genuine opinions ( preferably from other PMs) as to whether it is the right move to switch from engineering to PM. will it be worth the hassle ? 2) also my current job is remote so are there decent remote PM opportunities or the role demands you to be in the office more ( this Is an important factor) 3) while making the switch would I have to compromise on the package since it's a role switch ? how much hike can I expect like I'm making X right now 20/30% on that ? would really appreciate genuine opinions.

Is it good idea to switch to project management role after having 8 yrs experience in technical role. If yes how to switch , any process courses etc ..
