This. Being on OPT, I went through all of this in the past couple of years. I refused to give in and take up a regular job, just for the opportunity to get a shot at the H1B lottery (which a lot of colleagues and friends have suggested).
I moved from SF back to Mumbai, India(my home country) earlier this year and don't regret it one bit. There's a lot happening here and there's a boom in the startup space in general in the country.
For the US, I definitely see a pretty big negative impact in the long run if the immigration system continues to remain as messed up as it is at the moment. I truly hope some kind of a startup visa is implemented so that future graduates, thinking of starting up do not have to fight against getting kicked out.
