Perception: HK/Singapore being at a lower tier than NY/London
I usually am on the Consulting forum given what I do, but have visited the bullpen a lot more off late (let's face it, lot more entertaining and I'm sick of responding to threads asking about how to best do case prep). One common theme emerging among people's comments is that Asian cities like HK...

Too Many Americans & US Graduates in Hong Kong
