Working as DS for 4 years, the current position titiles as DS but actually BIE + a bit Analytics. I am thinking about what should be my next step, Senior DS or MLE. I am considering to switch to MLE role for higher pay, better WLB and clear job responsibities. But I am afraid I would need to start from L3 as my current work experience is not modeling focus.

MLE is a software engineering role except you import different libraries. You should think about whether you want to debug code all day, write unit tests, and desperately try to hit metrics goals that are set by a DS.
Or do you want to be the one setting the metrics goals?
The answer isn't as obvious as the poll makes it seem, and is very company-dependent imo. If it's an option, maybe you can try switching to your attached engineering team -- you'd have an advantage from already knowing the product and the people there.
The normal split was DS helps set the goals and report the goal progress, while MLE achieves the goals. But depending on the team there can be some crossover.
