I think the biggest question you should ask yourself is "do you want to move to NYC, or find a new job in Hong Kong?" I personally would rather be in Hong Kong unless the job in NY were truly exceptional. If you want to go to NY, go to NY -- the finances/etc. will work out, but unless you have some specific fixed expenses, it's probably not the primary consideration.
- deerpig 13y agoI agree. I have lived nearly a decade in both HK and NYC each and HK was by far a better place to live and work.
- JackOfAll 13y agoThe problem is i am working in IT. For an IT guy moving slowly from low cost center to medium cost center and from medium cost center to high cost center is equivalent to a successful career progression. Being in NYC means that i would be working on really interesting projects and i will have more freedom with my work and the decisions that i can make while programming.
- rdl 13y agoThat sounds like a strong factor in favor of NYC. The optimum would probably be having some experience in NYC for a few years and then potentially moving back to HK in a more senior role?
