Hong Kong Corporate Development, M&A, Strategic Finance 2026

Thinking of moving to HK (have some ties there so not utterly random and aware of lingo requirements, etc, etc.) this year and was wondering who the relevant headhunters and what some good companies are to work at that are recruiting?

Doesn't have to be the perfect job but looking for something reasonably interesting in the Corporate Development, M&A, Strategic Finance field that pays for a roof over my head. Not too fussed about the sector but I do know my way around basically everything at this point (from tech to startups to infra).

Should be fine from a CV perspective (no sponsoring/visa needed and have top IB, solid PE, great corp dev gig under my belt with good deal sheet) and looking to get started with the whole recruiting process.

Appreciate any good info and thoughts!
