The main differences are Salary and Job Security.

They are very closely linked. You get paid more in the states but they treat you like crap and fire you at a moment's notice.

If you dig down into the cost of living in the states it actually doesn't work out that different (Health Insurance and cost of living in American Tier 1 cities is nuts, even compared to London).
