Heard this a lot in investment banking. Definitely "used to be" as these days you're unlikely to make it in Hong Kong either.

The friends I know who tried to get into either say it's as hard to join HK as London. They are both super competitive.

Well, they could try Shanghai.

The main offices are usually in NYC, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore. I don't think that Shanghai is an option.

There is some investment and finance going on in shanghai these days. It isn’t world-class, but everyone wants to be there to learn and look to the future. Kind of like how HK and Singapore were 40-50 years ago.
