  > Eszter Czovek, 45, and her husband are moving from Hungary to Austria

  Title is about talent heading north; first and only actual migration anecdote goes west. Vienna is only 0.7° more north than Budapest. Depending on the exact places of origin and destination, Eszter could be going to a lower latitude.

  Temporary tax breaks make no sense when one can 4x their salary just by relocating a few 100 kms away.
