I don't mind at all working for a bank... I'm already I'm fortune-100 land. Currently living in southwest china, but coming from NYC so wondering if salaries are comparable? Are there any i-banks or hedge funds with dev shops in HK? That said I'm really a UX guy with an enterprise background, so any BigCorp would do. Only caveat: I have very little putonghua and zero guangdonghua. How screwed am I?

You really need to target the large international banks. UBS, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche, Credit Suisse. They use agencies/recruiters a lot, so that might be an angle of attack worth exploring. If you do that you are fine in HK with english-only (professionally speaking. Socially, I could see it annoying some people (english is an official language in fact only), but it has never bothered me). As for salary, I don't know if they are identical to NY or London salaries, but it's gotta be in the same ballpark. HSBC might be the only large international bank where english-only would be a problem (though I'm really not sure, just heard a few things).
