Had a friend who went back recently. Life outside work is good. Closer to family, all daily chores are taken care of by maids and servants. But w.r.t work, you don't get enough number of quality people. They still need hand holding or "push". Most people are smart but do not know how to deliver end to end.
After about 1.5 years of working in the US, I moved back to India for a year and made some mobile apps at home and also travelled south east asia. It was obvious that H1B was a waste of my time. Then moved to the Netherlands and worked freelance and some regular jobs there for 5 years to get EU permanent residency. Now moving to Spain and working as a remote freelancer in Barcelona for iOS/Android apps.

I think it really takes truck-loads of courage in going back, taking that massive salary-cut. But if one's a family-oriented person, then it makes sense.
