Default 10-15 Years Left to fly, Stay or go?

Appreciate any input you guys might have to my dilemma.

I am an older SWA FO with just under 1 year at the company and have about 10-15 years left to fly in the airline industry. I live in an area such that, I will always be commuting.

My goal: A balance of QOL and maximum pay in the short amount of time left to fly.

With my goal in mind my question: Is it better to stay at SWA or take advantage of the hiring at other Legacy aircraft?

Concerns I have with SWA:
- Longer upgrade times (If I stay at SWA, I would probably choose not to upgrade due to the upgrade timing and loss of QOL and with the little time remaining to fly)
- Lack of hiring with the MAX being down

Assume I have CJOs from all the airlines out there (I'm focusing on United and Delta).

Anyone have any thoughts, experience with this decision?

Any tools website out there to help me make the decision?

Appreciate the help.
