Trends in Hong Kong
What salary do new Hong Kong graduates typically expect?
As title says, fresh graduates from universities. What salary do you expect for your profession. I understandably some professions are more in demand than others. And are paid higher. But just tryna… more
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.

Hong Kong people are generally pretty helpful. You'll be fine. Just don't dawdle. And maybe grab your bao before the keynote starts, just in case. Enjoy the conference!
