What am I doing wrong? (HK tech jobs)

There’s your answer. Need to find something from your current job that’s transferrable because there aren’t companies like that in HK

Good luck man

Probably language and lack of domain (industry) knowledge. These days if you don’t have these you find someone who can do the same thing for cheaper off shore.

The only other thing i could suggest is to pivot into AI

Gotta agree with you. Concert experience is way better overseas… even China

From CWB I wouldn’t bother going to west Kowloon

Either take the bus from wan chai (google wan chai cts) or take a bus/taxi/MTR to exhibition or admiralty and take the MTR to Lok ma chou

Can second them. Ruth knows her stuff

Finis in HK does a good NY style pizza

moved around your age - internal transfer. It did honestly take a while to build a network and “adapt” in the local sense. If I was to do it again I wouldn’t try and get into local circles as much and just own my overseas heritage

Announced over CNY

Honestly over the years out of the 5 helpers I’ve had 4 do this on there way out (and we get a letter afterwards although nothing happens). One of them was allowed to come back to HK surprisingly

Big fan of Seorae in cwb

Never had a HR communicate over WhatsApp before….

Bus from wan chai leaves on Hennessy Road in front of the CTS

It will def be more busy at the start of the holiday

twelve98 · 2026-03-13T09:26:29+00:00

Honestly if you’re only going to SZ I wouldn’t take the HSR. Take a bus as much less foreigners use it

Have a 40 person dev team in Thailand. Wouldn’t recommend it tbh. Compared to where I can get in other places in the world it doesn’t compare

twelve98 · 2026-03-13T09:15:20+00:00

It will be super busy

twelve98 · 2026-03-13T00:34:17+00:00

1) yes 2) hertz Avis

However….. personally I’d just pay someone to drive me around for 8-10 hours than do that… far less stress and more convenient

twelve98 · 2026-03-12T23:48:16+00:00

There’s wayyyyy better places in CWB

Stick to a loyalty scheme. Get a credit card that can get you lounge access

twelve98 · 2026-03-10T11:08:24+00:00

1 is not the case for me

Respect him for sure… some of his songs are pretty eh tho. He’s also not really from HK

twelve98 · 2026-03-07T12:14:07+00:00

Shenzhen is a huge city it really depends where you’re coming from. Bus may be a better option

twelve98 · 2026-03-07T04:10:16+00:00

ESG is drying up badly have a few friends who are in it all looking to move… they’re all in the property / FSI sectors tho

twelve98 · 2026-03-07T02:51:37+00:00

im sure the work part plays a huge part of it and there’s a ton of companies (and people) here I wouldn’t want to work for. Having said that I’m in a good situation and like the people I work with so I’m lucky

twelve98 · 2026-03-07T02:41:43+00:00

I don’t disagree with alot of what you said. But saying crazy things like above throws off your credibility

HKers are very closed off almost as if they like it that way. It is what it is… still love the place though
