Would you move to HK for BitMEX? At what TC would you consider it? SWE role.
Nope. First, try not to get involved with crypto business. Second, itās HK. I m from there and everyone wants to get out. You wonāt save much, and you will work like 9:30-6:30 if you are lucky. Travel can take 1-2 hours depending where you live. Cheap rental is hard to come by. But of course if you happen to be a high profile banking VP thatās a different story.
What's wrong with the crypto business?
Subjective. Just think the whole crypto business is in a downfall. I wouldnāt bet my job on it. But I donāt take risk so *shrugged*
Consider your TC, taxes are 15%. If your boss is from US or UK you will be treated nicely. I worked in an insurance company (AXA) and it was sweet, the day my bossed changed to a mainlander it became annoying so I quit. There are many perks for white single dudes in HK so... not so bad.
Prob not mich. Asians don't treat engineer nicely
Who do they treat nicely?
Biz ppl. MGMT. Engineers are slaves in asia
