HK$ 39K/month - is it enuf to survive??

xxundefined

Recently been given an offer to move to HK for a manager position at one of the Big Four firms (financial consulting-type work) -- I already have 6 years of auditing/consulting experiences in yet another Big Four firm based in Asia. I'm looking to stay in a serviced apartment in Central/Wanchai area -- as such, I was wondering what would be the minimum monthly salary I would need to afford a decent lifestyle?

.......need help....

Well, most people get a salaray about half the size of your rent for that serviced apartment and still have a decent life.

If its D&T then I wouldn't be suprised.

I was released from my contract with them because I was the top performing analyst, Go Figure.
