    Possible to come to Hong Kong and look for entry-level jobs?

    I'm currently applying to Master's program in applied math at universities in Hong Kong and Germany, so if I get accepted, I may come to live in Hong Kong or Germany. However, right now I am unemployed and need something to do. I'm thinking that because there's a fairly good chance I'll get admitted somewhere in Hong Kong, I may as well try living in Hong Kong for a bit to decide if I really want to do my MS here and live here long-term instead of Germany.

    However, it would be hard to get a job in IT in Hong Kong now since I have very little work experience. What do you guys think? Should I just come to HK anyways and get in touch with recruiters to try to get a job?

    Getting an employment visa might be an issue. If you're German and under 30 then look at the Working Holiday Visa Scheme which would make you much more easily employable in short-term roles.
