Hi everyone,

I’m moving to Hong Kong in early October with an approved TTPS visa (no sponsorship needed) and enough financial runway to stay several months. I hold a French Master’s (including a Shenzhen exchange) and have 2 years of experience in Private Banking and Private Equity, fluent in English, French , and Spanish (no Mandarin/Cantonese). While LinkedIn listings heavily push for Chinese language skills, local contacts suggest my valid visa, physical presence, and active LinkedIn content (2 posts/week) could still open doors. Returning to France remains an easy plan B, but I want to give HK my best shot. What specific strategies, niches (e.g., European/LatAm desks), or networking tactics would you recommend to maximize my chances in my situation?

Thanks
