there is one thing this article does not mention - are you willing to take a drop in income and corresponding responsibility to reduce stress? are you willing to take a lifestyle dip? stress is greatly reduced if one cut away the excess.
I did that - moved back from hong kong (and hong kong pay scales) to india - and a relatively low but still decent indian pay scale .. working for the same employer. This was in late 2002. It was either that or become a nervous wreck (being an on call engineer in a high volume mailops team can have that effect on you, as can mcdonalds being the only restaurant in walking distance, so you grab a quarter pounder with cheese, eat it at your desk and that's lunch)
