Is this a good offer?

The Hungarian Central Statistics Office gives average salaries in a variety of classes. You can use this to compare where your expected income ranks (scroll down to the income sections):

In the net income tables your income is above average in the finance sector, and far above average in most other sectors, and thus above what most Hungarians make, and they survive.

If that is a good income or not will depend on your personal expenses and standard of living you want. Then see this list for cost of living in Budapest:

Many thanks!

I don't think it's enough compared to other EU salaries but we know nothing about your lifestyle and personal circumstances.

In the UK, you'd get at least 2 x that amount although your living expenses (for housing) would be considerably more than in Hungary.

The salary differential is wide across the EU. That's why there are now about 500,000 Polish people working in the UK and many Hungarians are joining them.

Hello!

Living expenses in Budapest are quite low comparing to other EU cities, so this amount is pretty OK, on average. Biggest part of yuor expenses will be, I guess, flat rent. On average, flat for two people in the city centre is around 400 Euro, maybe a bit more depending on the quality. Shopping, products and alcohol are pretty cheap.
Another thing you need to consider is benefits package of the company. I work also in this field and being foreigner may lead to having wrong expectations.
Where do you live now? I can advise on your expectations, depending on your country.
