If you would like to work in Hong Kong, be warned that the pace
is very fast. If you don't like to work in Hong Kong but have
no choice, you have my sympathy!
Knowing Cantonese or even Chinese is sometimes not necessary
to work in Hong Kong. In fact there're plenty of expats working
in Hong Kong who only know English - and may the names of their
favorite dishes in Cantonese. And they are not English teachers.
There is quite a demand for overseas hires in the finance sector;
private banking, investment banking, etc. (Unfortunately, the
present economy has put a damper on that.) Of course if you are
bilingual, you are very much sought after, especially if you know
Mandarin.
