Which location will make you happier when you work in Asian finance? Our research suggests that while jobs in Hong Kong may pay you the most, Singapore will make you happier.
Based on our survey earlier this year of around 600 people working in banking and financial services in APAC, although Singapore is seen as less glitzy than Hong Kong, it fosters a greater sense of wellbeing. 95% of those working on the sell-side in Singapore, whether in trading, investment banking or operations said they are happy working there. By contrast, a fifth of those working in Hong Kong said they were unhappy.
