Demand a competitive salary. If you stay in the US, your pay is a logistic curve that tops out when you reach your late 30s. You will start to feel the pressure of not keeping up wage-wise in your 40s, and you will be completely excluded from being able to work at all sometime in your 50s. That's the reality.
