It depends on your lifestyle, but I agree with bral1960. You won't save anything on salary, but if you are coming for JUST a year and want to have the experience, then I say there is nothing wrong with that.

If you are a US taxpayer, you also need to check into the tax implications of you being here, as the US government counts non-salary benefits as part of your income, and you pay taxes on everything past a certain threshold.
