Prepare to be much worse financially. You will earn less, pay higher taxes (as percentage) and will feel much poorer.
Cars, especially nice ones, are much more expensive (in absolute numbers, not only as percentage of income) to buy and own. Petrol is several times the US price.
Rents are higher in most cities (at least compared to income). Maybe only SV is worse compared to Europe.
All tech gadgets are more expensive, roughly at +20% in absolute terms, because of VAT
And yeah, on top of that you get "free" healthcare, which is usually of very questionable quality.
