NYC vs London vs HK

Hey! I was wondering if you guys could give me the pros and the cons of NYC, London and Honk Kong for IBD?

Things like pay, culture, workload, nightlife, cost of living, food.

I haven’t seen any discussion comparing these cities in detail so if you could be as precise as possible it would be great! :)
