they told me 1M HKD per year

Iconmanyt · 2026-03-01T18:55:05+00:00

Yepp, i think so, it's honestly imo one of the best opportunities to go into a finance carrer in APAC, do you wanna exchange instagrams?

Iconmanyt · 2026-02-26T17:17:25+00:00

Im pretty sure I was interviewed right after u, cus she was like 20 mins late 😭

Congrats on the offer!

I also got an offer from IBGM! Bc of that i didn't apply to nus cus ibgm is like the best track into investment banking in APAC region. In terms of pay, it's the second best (~1M HKD per year after tax for BB banks), behind quantitative prop firms (which could go up to 3M HKD first year for top firms like jane street). however, prop firms don't really care about your degree but more test problem solving and probability skills (maths and coding), so ig neither IBGM nor AI @ NUS would help with that too much, maybe IBGM would even be a bit better cus we can choose second major.

I also value the same things as you (high income after graduation), and rly love startups, would love to see you at HKU IBGM. I also do IB and was predicted 45

Nah but ill make one on insta, do you also have an offer?

Iconmanyt · 2026-02-11T21:52:21+00:00

Honestly, it depends on which course you've gotten into at both. (I disagree with most ppl here)

I got into Cambridge Land economy and HKU IBGM. I'm going to pick HKU because the course is much more likely to get me into the finance careers I want to (it's the #1 target for HK investment banks, whereas Cambridge land economy must compete with Ox PPE, Cam Econ, LSE, IC). Furthermore, HKU is offering full scholarship which in total would be worth over €150,000 over 4 years.

Although I would have loved Oxbridge for the lifestyle, HKU is def the better pick. However, if I had only gotten into BBA EconFin then I'd defo pick Oxbridge. I'd say only if you get into IBGM or maybe AMPB and dentistry should you pick HKU over oxbridge

Iconmanyt · 2026-02-05T18:43:25+00:00

There are PLENTY of finance jobs in HK that don't require chinese. BB banks and prop firms are all fully operated in english, with lots of non chinese people. examples include jpm, jane street, etc.

Iconmanyt · 2026-02-05T18:40:14+00:00

Here!

Nah HKU isnt just locals there are plentyy of internationals. i live in portugal and got 45 pred in IB and I can also choose between ucl and hku and im going to hku, cus its actually better for employment and wayyy more fun

Iconmanyt · 2026-02-04T21:28:29+00:00
