hi guys,
i plan to move to hong kong for good to be close to my bf. however, i may be immediately able secure a job as the banking industry has been seriously knock down lately. my bf is a senior insurance agent manager & earning bt HKD35k p. month. he is currently staying with family apt but if i were to move in, he would need to move out with me. J
ust wondering, his earning wud suffice to pay the bills while i look for a job? btw, i have 5 yrs doing corporate credits in a foreign bank (marketing cum analyst work). How much would much wud be my expected salary for the same field in hong kong?

The big factor here is rent. However 35k a month can get you pretty far in HK.
Entry level Investment Banking salaries will get you at least what your bf makes, probably more.

cara, i disagree, visa is no issue for the type of job she is looking for (corporate credits in a foreign bank). plenty of foreigners work in such roles and visas are doled out as a standard procedure.
melanie, i think you have a good shot at a job as lending is generally up in the region and most regional credit risk depts for international banks are located in hong kong. in addition, most banks are currently staffing up their back and middle offices in anticipation of a good year.
5 years in such roles coming from marketing and now doing credit analysis and assuming around 28-30 years of age would probably make you a senior manager or AVP level. SM range is probably around 15-35k, AVP around 25-60k per month.

hi cara & cookie,
tx for the advice. am working on both ways now. discuss on transferring to hk branch (which really depends on availability) or starting new in another bank. its a really good news to hear that banks in hk are staffing again. Since i hv both front & back office experience, i tink employment in hk is not as gloomy as i had thought.
