How is the career outlook in Hong Kong?

June 2nd, 2004, 9:51 pm

Hi,I will enter the computational finance program at CMU this September. I plan to find a job in Hong Kong after I graduate, to stay close with my parents living in the neiborough city Shen Zhen. How is the job market for quants in Hong Kong at this time? What salary should I expect if I just have a degree with only internship experience.Are there any websites that provide information on Hong Kong's finance market?Thanks

I'm from HK (and I'm going back to HK soon to work as a quant). It looks like a good couple of banks are hiring a lot of people, esp. in fixed income area. Friends working there told me last 2 years were great.

I'm from HK also but haven't been back for ages. Got a naive question to ask, do banks in HK hiring quants at all? or technical analysis regards as quant job as well?

Hi,I am in the CMU MSCF program. A couple people I know of are doing internshipsin HK. It is possible. Ask around for them when you get to school in September.QuoteOriginally posted by: vNHi,I will enter the computational finance program at CMU this September.

QuoteOriginally posted by: clyIn fact, if you look at Job forum, there's a quant position for Hong Kong that is being advertised. I believe that's the same position that I have interviewed for.hi, cly, did you go back to HK to have the interview or you just did phone interview for the position?I am going to get my master's degree in Financial mathematics next spring and planning to move to HK to work, since I want to be close to my family in China.

adou, I'm based in US and they brought me to NYC for interview.financeasia.com might be a website you want to take a look at for HK (and Asian) finance news.
