Any folks on here know about the IB or buy side environment in Hong Kong? Wanted to get a sense of how things are there (compensation, culture, prestige, deal flow, etc.). Do you have to know how to speak/read/write Mandarin or Cantonese to be considered? I really love the city, and I'm currently evaluating my options there. To give ya'll some background, I'm an Associate at a well known IB in the US. I can speak Chinese, but can't read and write (like most Asian Americans lol). Thanks!

Need to be native level speak/read/write Mandarin to work in HK IBD. Potentially more opportunities in the buyside for non native level, but options are still limited. Compensation is highest in the world (along with ~15% tax), but hours are the worst.
Is compensation higher than NYC or similar?
Also, is there any need for Cantonese as the native language in HK is that?
