Similar for me. From 2001 until 2004 I worked on an H1-B on the east coast managing a team of presales engineers (all US citizens) and clearly earned a good salary. End of 2004 I decided to move back to Europe and proceed my career back home. That I didn't want to become a resident in the US surprised most if not all my collegues in the US. The big issue IMHO with H1-B's are that people tend to apply for a green card while in the US and, often actually succeed. One has to know that a requirement to get an H1-B in the first place, is to declare that one wants to go home after the temporary assignment. Thats what I always wanted and also did.
