Moving to and working in HK??

22 years ago

Hello everyone! My wife and I are considering moving to HK next year. My mother moved there from Canada 2 years ago and loves it and we would like to join her!

Can anyone offer some insight as to what obstacles we may encounter in trying to move to and work in HK? I am finishing a BSc - Computer Information Systems degree and have worked in various positions in IT for over 7 years (mainly networking, systems implementation/support, and consulting) in mid-market companies. My wife has 2 Master's degrees and experience in Business Development (mainly in Europe) and over 5 years experience in an executive sales position (software).

Niether of us speak an Asian language but would love to learn. What are our honest chances of being able to find work in HK?

Any input would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
