To get started, you don’t have to let go of your current job/career. I would look into getting current at the local training facility or FBO.
There is a ‘rusty pilots’ program list detailed at AOPA I think. May or may not apply, but could have some info.
You need to get current, some current hours, a bit of faith, then start the process.
Edit; I think you could do it without dusting off & renewing CFI credentials.
A question could be, would just recreational flying while keeping the current job be enough? If not, doable at least at the regional level, possibly beyond.
As always, individual initiative factors in. What’s doable for one, can be very difficult for the next.
