Hi,
Hoping to get some inputs from you guys!
I am born and raised in Hong Kong and moved to the Netherlands for 6 years and planning to move back to Hong Kong.
I am just wondering a few things:
1. How difficult for me to find a job with a salary of minimum HKD 30,000/ month.
2. How local employers see me? Do they just see me as a local or do they like my overseas experience?
3. Do I have advantage over local Hong Kong people who don’t have overseas work experience?
I have worked in Hong Kong and Netherlands both for 6 years each. I worked in various roles, but the past 6 years I focused in project management in both startup environment and also international IT consultancy company, in e-commerce, marketplace (e.g. Amazon) role.
I don’t have a Bachelor degree but has a higher diploma from a university in Hong Kong, but the subject has nothing to do with any of my job experience. All the Hong Kong jobs I worked in were international companies or renowned local big companies, so I am expecting to work for corporate when I am back. Of course, if start up can pay me a good salary then I am very happy as well. I do notice a lot more jobs require Mandarin speaking skill these days, I am fluent and bilingual for Cantonese and English.
I am hoping to find a role in project management (for e-commerce, digital marketing areas) or in the travel industry for mid to senior level role, but not necessarily to have a team to manage.
So..I am wondering given my background, will I be able to find a job with salary above 30K?
