【本地VS外國】中環工作的外國人都是高薪族？Expats get paid more?

Hong Kong Expats' Salary vs Locals' Salary！
人人都話係香港做外國人比較好，但他們真的是高薪一族嗎？香港打工仔被比下去？！
我決定把他們的月薪和香港人比較一下！

我是香港人，從小在屯門區長大，現在在家附近工作，雖然收入不算高，但生活愉快，剛看到這條片時確實令我大開眼界，一直不知道原來在中環區工作的人賺這麼高的收入。

[@zim4612]

可能是高薪行业都集中在那附近，在他们哪个行业真的只是普通水平。比如hk$200k放计算机行业就是个p8，单单阿里一家就有2万人，但放在土木行业，可能中建CTO也就挣这么多。

[@AnsonYMLeung]

Used to work in an electronics company from Italy (an office for two located in Kowloon if not Central). My former boss (originally from Milan), whose title was Director of the company's APAC office, earned upon his first year in Hong Kong around 43,000 HKD/month. Having stayed here for two years, he got a raise to around 52,000 HKD/month. Since he was also a sales manager, he was entitled to a quarterly bonus of around 13,000 HKD. More, as an expat, his accommodation in Hong Kong was covered by the company (an apartment in The Victoria Towers, TST for a rental fee of around 25,000 HKD/month) and the company provided a quarterly retirement bonus (not sure if this was compulsory in the Italian laws) of around 13,000 HKD. He did, as most Hongkongers would believe, frequented the bars in Central and Wanchai at the weekends and led a rather comfy life but he also complained about the company's poor expat package, since quite a lot of his friends (also Italian) in Hong Kong were earning a monthly salary a lot higher than his and could have a far better accommodation (provided by their company, of course) in places like the Mid-levels or Sai Ying Pun.......

[@AnsonYMLeung]

Further information: He came here at the age of 39 and his last monthly salary in Italy as key account manager was already close to 40,000 HKD/month before tax (excluding the bonuses, of course). Not sure if he was a typical example but I think age, and thus seniority, is certainly a contributing factor since quite a number of them come to Hong Kong to hold senior managerial positions (Of course, there has been a growing number of young Europeans rushing here for more junior positions).The expatriate package per se should also be considered because 1) the salary is determined by following not necessarily the living standards in Hong Kong but those in the society where the company or the said person is from and 2) a highly attractive remuneration is somehow justifiable for having to leave one's formative society for a foreign land.

[@Woodland26]

Your former boss was not paid that well. I know people sent to work in HK, the company hire a long term room for him to stay in Mandarin Hotel (文華）for many months/years.

[@AnsonYMLeung]

Indeed he was not. That's why, as I wrote, he kept complaining. But I suppose I put his case here to argue that not all foreigners in Hong Kong are earning that much. Life could be a lot easier for the 'expatriates' in the original and thus true sense and your friend is definitely one of those.

[@Woodland26]

52k+25k housing+13k retirement = 90k HKD per month, plus bonus. Not everyone will get big bucks. I am working in a western society as professional. Earn more than most here in theory, but deduct tax then still true income 40% less. Actually your ex-boss total package is better than me.

Well, if you’re an expat - first you’ll be experienced ( because there’s no point in hiring an expat if the talent can be found locally) , second you won’t come to Hong Kong unless the package is great or at least better than what you’d make back home, so it’s logical for them to have higher salary and with rental subsidies and all kinds of benefits. By default, expats should have better packages, it’s the same all over the world. But yes, it’s almost ridiculous how much these people make, but I’m pretty sure they got to where they are for a reason, studied hard and good at what they do.

香港人搵三萬以上，都開始有工作壓力，俾上司屌到仆街，俾下屬hea到癲！唔係做投資，地產有邊個可以搵到十皮野一個月！

其實我好耐之前就發現, 做份幾千蚊既工, D人怨氣通常都好大, D同事就會好鍾意睇人仆街, 到而家我就係向片主拍片果度返工, 人工幾萬, 但個個同事都好好禮貌, 唔會好似以前幾千蚊做文職D人咁鍾意整陷阱同埋比屎同事食, (當然都有少數人鍾意比屎人食)所以話, 就算你想話搵少D 想少D 壓力, 呢樣野係唔成立, 反而因為你既地位低, 食既屎仲多 仲有就係, 你做份幾千蚊既工果時, 你唔用iphone, d同事就會笑你窮,(明明大家都係搵咁上下錢) 但你做份幾萬蚊既工, 你用部2千幾蚊既asus 電話都無人會理你
