Well I don't know... 3 years sounds awfully lot to study and move into a direction you don't want that much.

Sure. Maybe I won't stay for 3 years, if there's a possibility to get a significantly better position with at least the same salary. If you have to do something you don't really like, money starts to play a more important role than before.

(although I'm satisfied with my current income)

Nope, I don't require that much.

5 years and I can apply.

[zaqrack]

got an offer to work in the US.
I am not going to take it (it's not really the place I want to live and have made some committments I have to keep), but maybe keep it as a fallback plan if things don't work out in Hungary they way I expect them to be or if the country goes further down the drain.
I will revisit this decision in 1.5 years from today.

It sounds cool, congratulations!

Good luck! What are you planning?

Applying for a decent job. Not in Hungary. (Since the language skills are the most important for that, I have only 2% chance. Unfortunately I have to refresh my German knowledge - and start French studies, too.)

Not this time, European Patent Office has no vacant positions at my field... Next chance in the autumn.
