well, HK is located in Asia and NYC, LA, Chicago in the United States.

they are far away from each other.

My friend worked in a BB in HK, and then went to another BB FT in NYC --and she said that HK is a LOT more cutthroat and she didn't like it. If you want to be in Asia, then go for HK.

 

I did my summer analyst stint in HK and boy I thought I was working for a consulting firm. You would enjoy your skyrocketing airline mileages by travelling around mainland china =) And if you haven't been to Asia, the exotic food will suit your western-taste perfectly.
