Good decision. I am originally from Europe and I am on a Visa here and consider going back home despite the lower pay. I mean I like tech stuff, but I do not like it that much.
Being able to walk to work, getting 4+ weeks off a year guaranteed by law (so people actually use it instead of hearing they have unlimited PTO and then getting chided for taking a week off), the thought of my kids not having crushing student debt, the ability to live a somewhat lower-carbon lifestyle, not being miserably hot every summer, and a substantially reduced likelihood of being killed every time I go for a bike ride are good reasons to be in Europe.
