Hi all
I am senior IT consultant (w. a bachelors degree in Information Technology) working in Zurich, Switzerland. I have been working with banks, customizing and coding software for trading applications, for the past 10+ years. I was born and raised here. I make yearly about 100 - 150k CHF / 800k - 1.2M HKD in my current job, my GF about 80 - 120k CHF / 640 - 950k HKD. She holds a masters degree in architecture from one of the worlds top universities (ETH Zurich) and has about 1.5 years working experience in the field.
Im trying to keep this short and structured, so here are my/our questions:
- What salary can we expect w. our background and working experience in HK?
- How much % should we plan on putting aside from our net-income, for taxes, health care, transportation, gym membership, food (eating out and cooking) etc.?
- Does anybody have a budget calculator for HK?
- What areas should we consider living in? Can you please mention why you think this area is good for living, security, proximity, costs?
- Is there any "onboarding" guide for expats that answers my above questions and more?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
