And still i got offered a salary higher than my expected + 33%.

I wonder this boss of yours, is he a employed manager or he owns this company.
If he is a salaried man, he is taking no ownership of the company fund and spending it irresponsibly on overpaying the staff. How can one ask the interviewee to add 20% to his existing pay followed by a 33% inclement before asking your existing salary?
If he owes this company, it will be extremely unusual for him to spend his money to overpay his staff unless he/she very sought after.
