I’ve had friends move from working at FAANG in SV back to Poland, taking 60% salary paycut, citing better quality of life here - especially when children are involved. If you have good public transportation (as in: you can get around faster in a bus than using Uber), good and cheap healthcare, and free public education, you just don’t need as much money to get a better lifestyle. Also: “fine” is a good description of the US healthcare. I experienced both US and European healthcare systems and it’s amazing how much worse is one from another. Even if money is not much of an issue.
