    Question Working at Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI)

    I am just wondering if any people worked or working at ASTRI? Do they offer expat packages for foreign professional? How's the working culture and pay there? Thank you for answering

    Whoa, blast from the past! When I moved to HK 10+ years ago, it was to work for ASTRI! They did not offer any expat package for my position as a software developer. The salary was lower than my salary in Canada, but consideriing after-tax numbers, it was comparable (HK salary tax quite low).

    Obviously if you are hired a Director there, things could be different. Most of the Directors were overseas hires, though I suspect even for them, the salaries would not be competitive to the banking technology jobs in Hong Kong. Most of the working staff were locals or mainlanders.

    Good luck!
