It's really tough to give a single number, it varies wildly depending on the field. Engineering and tech grads usually snag the highest starting salaries, often in the HKD 20,000-30,000 range. Business and finance can be similar, but the range is broader. Other fields... well, let's just say it's significantly lower, sometimes under HKD 15,000. Best bet is to look at individual company job postings – those are way more revealing than any generalization.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. I've heard similar things from friends who recently graduated. The disparity between fields is crazy. It really hammers home the importance of internships and networking, doesn't it? Getting your foot in the door at a good company seems to make a huge difference in those early salary negotiations.
