I really want to know in average how much time does a typical analyst spend on financial modeling in Hong Kong versus cities like NY London or Singapore. I mean especially product group.
Thanks !!

None, you'll be too busy trying to figure out which of your Chinese clients are lying to you.
Not true, i'd say it completely depends on the shop and the deals. I only work on models where I'm at.
I heard there's a lot more "client relationship" work and less emphasis on financial modeling at the junior level in HK than NY. Can anyone confirm?
Couchy, What firm and group you are in?
I spent a lot of time with a HK model, she was my girlfriend lol
Really hope you guys could give some insights. I think I am in good shape (^_^) and let's assume that I will be able to get a job in either NY or HK. I want to decide my priority since I am now going through the Asia recruiting season. If I got an offer from Asia, I will not proceed to the new york process because Asia process ends in January and I will sign the contract, while NY process wont start until Feb. Working in Asia is great. But I just heard some people say that you will not learn any modeling in Asia. Some people other said you will learn as much as, or even more than people in US. I am confused so I am asking on this forum. Thanks!
