I am an expat engineer in Budapest and the tech scene here has a lot of ups and downs, definitely meet a lot of engineers just by walking around, it isn't quite a tech hub yet. The very low cost of living and high salaries for engineers make it quite attractive, even though rent prices keep going up it is still a very good place to live, decent quality of living, centrally located within Europe with lots of options to travel and all, I'd definitely recommend, and hope it becomes an even bigger tech hub in the future.
