• ephix

  i was in hk for 3 years.
  pros: higher pay, lower tax (2-3%), cheap flights originate from hk to a lot of places around the world, lots of different cultures mixed in together, convenience.
  cons: pollution, expect longer hours, over-bearing crowds, expensive rent, 2 weeks holiday only (unless you work in a flexible company like I did, but rare)

  • Better when you work for Western Company in HKG. We get housing income.– sebastianfrench1/5

    well yeah, I had housing income, but I factor that in to the whole package.– ephix2/5

    I got 10k for housing, rented a place at midlevel for 18k not bad just paid 8k hkd– sebastianfrench3/5

    yes but compare that 18k place to a different city. will buy you a helluva bigger and nicer place.– ephix4/5

    yeah for sure– sebastianfrench5/5
