Is it worth it? Yes, of course. You’re trying to make a very difficult career move, which will probably not work unless you take every possible useful action without question, and commit superhuman amounts of effort to your goal, beyond what 99% of people in your situation are willing to do. You still might not succeed, but not doing things like this will guarantee failure.
