Did the cultural differences play a role in how you networked? In other words, is there a different approach to networking in Asia than NY?
ibd101: I'll get more into that next post. But it definitely does play a role. When I networked in Asia I focused on reaching out to westerners working in HK as they were much more likely to help
ggman:
on your first question. it depends which division you're working in. for IBD chinese language is critical. but for S&T it never mattered for me.
on your second question, your best bet is big firms if they have to sponsor a working Visa. or i did have friends while I was living over there that got internships for the summer through networking. but some of that was unpaid so they didn't have to deal with the Visa.
Thanks
This is a good post. Hats off to you and SB+1.
