I quit my principal engineer job in the spring to deep dive on Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Was a 3d production pipeline developer for decades, and then facial recognition dev more recently. Getting a formal education in the area I've been working has been a pure joy, and Machine Learning is so close to low level graphics programming, I'm picking it all up surprisingly easy. I practically have to force myself to bed every night, what I'm learning and doing has my juices gushing.

Ha I love it, I followed a similar path quitting a staff role to do ML and it is such a fun and interesting field.
