To some extent, this is not to say that CICC is good. But the market ourside china is too bad. If those top MBAs can land jobs even in I'banks at Hong Kong. 99% wont' to CICC.
Hong Kong I Banking job vs CCIC job? Even you can land a job easily in Hong Kong, for salary and compensation, there is no competition these days. CCIC is much better. we are talking about 25% more at least. (it depends on the project you are working on and rankings of course)
Are you sure? As far as I know there is not expat. pay in CICC these days. Although it is very competitive compared with other local companies, CICC's salary level is much lower than those big names in Hong Kong. But you are right, there is almost no position these days in Hong Kong. almost everybody laid off. ........ Some people did internship at CICC, the compensation is ......... horrible.
