Can you see your future in HK?  How many years will you stay and will you ever come back?  Will you have your family/kids in HK later as well?  You can have a very challenging job in Vancouver too, depending which company/field you're in.

Personally, I don't want to go back if I don't have to.  The people and the pollution just freak me out.  I get a headache when I walk in MK or Causeway Bay.

One more thing to consider.. kids... I really don't know if I am ready to be a mom yet (mentally). But if I ever had one, I feel like Vancouver is a better place for kids to grown up in ba? Will be bi ...

So when you're ready for kids, then you'll move back here?  So, HK -> Van -> HK -> Van?  To me, that's a waste of time lor.

I agree, it takes time to build up a career and stability in a country, maybe 5-10 years.  If you return to HK and become successful, but then you suddenly want to start a family and have kids, will you leave your career and start over in Vancouver?  Or you compromise by staying in HK and let your kid to grow up in HK, getting all the influences from HK people and education?  Mind you there's a high percentage of kids in HK who have psych. problems these days...  Many of them have language barriers too because nobody talks to them at home besides the Philipino nanny...

I think people making a ton more in HK because they have better connections in HK and they have language barriers here, besides other things like higher population and opportunities.

Stats proved that the 2nd gen immigrants make way more than the 1st gen.
