Let me be the first to burst your bubble and/or any preconception you have about Hong Kong.
Working in the 'creative' industry here, is not easy.
Whatever you are making in the US per year, you can take off 25% right away.
Whatever you are paying for rent, you can add 25% right away.
The US dollar is pegged to the HK dollar at 7.75
It's really hard to go any further than that not knowing the company vitals because as ephix rightly says, locals here work for peanuts. An absolute pittance. So for a company to hire an expensive gweilo they really have to be bringing something special to the table.
