I would try to decide base on culture fit and likelihood of getting a return offer. At the end of the day your major goal as a SA is to get the return. Everything else comes second.

 

I would say in Hong Kong HSBC slightly better,

but if you have ever considered working abroad, then the reputation of DB will give you more advantages.

Agree the return offer matters the most for SA, and I think HSBC had a good return rate in the past few years, not sure about DB.

So I would pick HSBC
