IBD in Hong Kong vs Singapore? Seeking insight from Vets

Hi guys, I realise this is a US-centric forum but I was hoping some Asian bankers or veterans in the industry could share some insight on the pros and cons of IBD in Hong Kong vs Singapore.

1) Deal exposure? 2) Prestige? 3) Exit ops? 4) Working hours? 5) Bonus sizes and promotion? 6) Long-term viability? (Will Beijing negate Hong Kong in the future as an IBD center?)

I'm mainly concerned with the above points. I'm familiar with the lifestyle, cultural and language factors.

Thanks very much! :)
