Originally from Hungary, lived in Budapest between 2002-2008, currently in San Francisco, have been visiting the country since 2008 every year for 2 weeks. It's hard for me to overstate how bad of a choice Hungary is for anything remotely related to tech/business/trading. Hungarian law is convoluted, and generally made by & for large corps; taxation (outside of the small business sector which you don't qualify for) is high, corruption is high, people are low and hopeless. Hungary also went through consequent phases of massive brain drain (2003, 2008, 2011). For the remaining people, Hungary's USP is "you can have sex here", which won't be applicable to you. For anyone else, the lack of compelling things to do, intelligence to work together with, and a proper functional system that isn't adversarial to entrepreneural action makes it an unlivably hostile system. Strongly recommend leaving as soon as feasible.
