Switch Industries?

Hello everyone, I’m new to blind and waned to ask for some advice. I work as an engineer with data science responsibilities at a larger energy company. Lots of my friends are leaving the industry to go work at other tech companies. My understanding is they are even taking a bit of a pay cut to do so.
I have about 4 years of engineering experience and since then about another 3+ of data science/engineering experience (started working full time 7years ago, 3.5years ago joined the data science team). I use python to make various productionized ML models that source and clean the data from the base sql databases all the way through to prescriptive economic recommendations and interactive dashboards. (Also familiar with tools like SAS JMP, R, VBA, spotfire, power bi, etc). I feel like I’ve been relatively successful with my projects, but am not sure if I’m in the right place. I’m pretty decent at writing pragmatic python code to solve our challenges and do different ml models. Starting to use git and scrum more.
All of my mentors in data science have PhDs, I just have a BS in petroleum engineering (also a professional engineering license)and MBA.

Main questions would be should I switch companies/industry(see comp list below)? Should I go back to school? What’s the general feeling from tech companies for people like me?
What sorts opportunities are out there for someone like me outside of direct energy?
Is my pay in line?
Any other suggestions?
