Quote: I've talked to quite a few guys who said that they would think twice to trade EK, as bad as it has gotten lately, for a recall or a new hire job. Once you become an expat, it's hard to go back to first year pay and such.

So: No, I don't think there will be an exodus of guys going back to the US soon. Coming here now? Whole 'nother ballgame...
The "golden handcuffs" are very difficult to undone specially when you have a family, when you reach a certain age and income level starting again at the bottom of the pile becomes impossible. Just as this is the main reason that there are career regional guys, there will be career contract/ex pat guys in my view. I agree that there won't be a massive exodus of guys returning home, at least not at the beginning
