QUOTE(mccrutch @ Jun 11 2008, 01:20 PM) hongkong has the highest 'salary rate' in asia next is thailand, singapore then malaysia 30k hkd is a good deal for freshies, but keep in mind that cost of living is about 20% more expensive than singapore... anyway i don't think you'll get that salary in singapore let alone malaysia. nah...living cost isnt much of a problem in hkg...the only thing expensive is the rent but u can still get very cheap places if you know where to find. with 30k hkd a month, the 20% extra in food etc are peanuts seriously. u can afford to buy LV bags every month and you still can save  usually the market rate for fresh grad is less than 20k...but i'm one of the lucky ones who get 35k without exp...been here for 6 months already, and i tell you...life is good...

QUOTE(sulizhen @ Jun 19 2008, 07:14 PM) wow, how did u manage to land a job in hk as a fresh grad?? i'm really impressed! if u dun mind, can share a bit about ur experience and how u manage to get there please? i signed up for graduate training programme with one of the 'supposedly' highest paid ibanks in hk. positions are opened worldwide and anyone can apply, but u'll face competition...and i consider myself lucky QUOTE(sankai80 @ Jun 20 2008, 02:41 AM) Problem is the costs of owning your own vehicle, property aka "proper" apartment and parking space are out of reach for most in HK to be honest...you dont need a car in hk...they hv the best transportation system (msia's is crap if u hv to compare). car is a luxury and there are 'proper' apartments. like i said, u'll hv to be here to experience it urself. great place to work but definitely not ideal to stay here permanently...
