People keep saying that, and I keep not believing them. AFAIK American companies tech offer comparable benefits to salaried employees, even though it's not required by law. And more and more of the "lifestyle" perks are disappearing, e.g. people are working more and more (8-6, 10-10 etc.) but still not getting paid US-style.
The only real deal-breaker, for me, is the risk of health insurance - I'm sure I'd be getting top-notch health insurance for myself and my family, but will it be useful when I need it? Will I know which provider to go to, is "in network", will bill me correctly, insurance company won't reject the claims, ... (but I guess these things are solvable, otherwise top-paid US employees would complain a lot, or emigrate). And of course the fact that I'm paid EU-style (well, better than EU-style as I work in finance with shittier quality of life, but still below US salaries) so I'm guessing US employees would either try to underpay me.
