Hi all,

Recently I got a job pre-offer from an international company based in HK. I never thought of going HK for work but was recommended by a manager from this company. Then I started to think about it.

I know very little about HK living and working culture so hopefully I can get some info from fellow forumers who have HK working experience. Major aspect include living cost in terms of rental/food, working culture. And of course, is it possible to save money? lets say $300k per annum.


Thanks in advance.

It is a senior position and was told they will let me know the detail of contract, salary will be higher so I expect around HKD $300k-$350k per annum

may I get an idea on how much is the average salary for senior position in HK? Industry, can be categorized under renovation but more into providing marketing and branding strategy. if salary offered is below average I probably can request more. biggrin.gif
