    Software Professional moving to Hong Kong

    Hi All,

    I am a software professional drawing 135000 SGD per annum in Singapore. I have a job offer from Hong Kong. What should be my equivalent expectation in Hong Kong?

    Salaries in Hong Kong depend on experience, qualifications, etc. - not on what the salaries are in Singapore.

    If you give your background then someone will tell you the level of salary such a position in Hong Kong would reach.

    I think you need to provide more information on your background, "software professional" is rather broad. Are you in sales or R&D? Any specialisation? Masters degree? Work experience? etc.
    Personally having moved from Singapore myself, I find the salaries approximately at par in Hong Kong, so you should be expecting around the same in HKD - approx. 820k.
    Keep in mind the higher cost of living though - rental & eating out is much higher than Singapore, which will take out a large chunk of your disposable income.
