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.
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
