Salaries is a question that many students studying business and wanting to pursue an international career take into consideration already during their bachelor degree and even more during their master degree. We all think of the money we will earn, and cannot wait to get our pay slips, and as much as it is possible.

Right now I am in Hong Kong for business, and I take the opportunity to get into the topic of the salaries of the expatriates in Hong Kong. I have to admit that Hong Kong is a really charming city with an impressive atmosphere which for sure renders it a great destinations to graduates in business, finance and economics. The English language is spoken by the third of the population and it is one of Hong Kong's official languages. This is quite an important factor for expatriates who are considering relocating to Hong Kong. Also, Hong Kong's financial center is one of the most important in Asia and the city's trade is still a vital gateway between China and the western world. To sum up, working in Hong Kong is one of the best places in Asia!

Salaries in Hong Kong are not as high as in the USA or as in Europe, but we also have to consider the cost of life when earnings are evaluated. Nevertheless, especially graduates from management can count on expatriate allowances. If we take these extra earnings, working in Hong Kong probably is quite a good choice if you earn a high salary!
