Only after many years. Then you'd need to make much much more to make up for all the years at lower pay. You would need to have a lot of money saved, or accept a lower standard of living till the major pay caught up to and exceeded NJ, plus at the majors medical coverage for you and your family can be expensive where at NJ it's included in the CBA. It makes economic sense to leave for a major only if you're a new SIC.
FWIW, flying big airplanes doesn't make your junk any larger. Ask me how I know.
