Lack of Trust

I resigned my job on Friday - one of the MD's asked why I didn't do it earlier - I didn't say why but he assumed it was a lack of trust over compensation here in Hong Kong.

In New York, leaving was a normal thing for analysts - people left all the time for other opportunities - they would still be compensated properly because it's the norm. In Hong Kong, not the case. People don't trust anyone here; and they should not. Too many people move around; too many people change jobs; too many people have been to too many places to really care. In the end, one must take care of its own self surivival. The bankers I know are ugly, cruel, and heartless.

I had a great time here in Hong Kong - how it's ending breaks my heart.
