This was a really long, enjoyable article. My question is, how does the company that he works for manage to pay him enough to buy a 90k flat? Are they shaddy like the other companies he described? Is he shaddy and not paying his taxes? How did his employer manage to do it and why can't he just follow that path?

In Hungary smaller companies usually cheat on their taxes... it's a national sport.

haha I really do believe that is true.

Maybe he simply inherited it. Maybe he works for Google Hungary or other international company (overall charging rate he has mentioned in article does not look that bad in international context).

What really looks bad how Hungary's laws make companies noncompetitive. E.g. higher employment taxes means people will work in other EU countries if there is possibility.
