I've been offered a job as a junior corporate lawyer in HK (coming from the UK).
I just want to check that I'm getting a right ballpark in terms of salary / package. I know there are so so many variables that would determine my particular situation, but wanted to get a rough outlook.
The basic salary would be 70k hkd a month. I would get medical and dental, along with a contributary pension (I put in 5% and my employer puts in 5%).
They will provide me with a US$2k moving allowance, a one way ticket to HK and a serviced flat for one month.
My contracted hours would be Monday to Friday and on Saturday morning a month. Annual holiday is 20 days with two additional "personal days" (at present I'm on 27 days a year).
After tax my salary is going up by about 25%, but I would be due a salary review at my present firm in a month or two (where I reckon I would be getting a 10% salary increase).
At present where I work, my hours are pretty much 8.30am - 6 / 6.30pm. Now I know this is a very subjective topic, but what would I be expecting in Hong Kong. I'm presuming the hours will be longer.
I would greatly appriciate comments on the package above. Is this standard for a corporate law firm and for someone of my level of experience? Thanks!!!
