" My husband and I are considering a move to Hong Kong (with his company). We are both 30 years old, no kids (2 cats). I am wondering how difficult it would be for me to find work there if I don''t have a job when we arrive. I work at a documentary film company. Are people enjoying their life in Hong Kong? "

" I would suggest that you put out some feelers now - unfortunately, some expat wives find it hard to be taken seriously here. Employers often assume that you will be less committed than a local as you are following your husband. There are anti-discrimination laws here, but the attitude still needs a little fixing. You could try RTHK, TVB. ATV and Star TV. They all have web sites where you can get information. Also, you could contact Webgrlls (Hong Kong), who may be able to provide more information. (I will include the web sites below.) There is also the Cable network, but I''m afraid I don''t know much about that. http://rthk.ipoline.com/ (RTHK) http://db.tvb.com.hk/recruit/index.asp?lang=eng&; (TVB jobs in English) http://chinasite.com/Media/Chinatv.html (Guide China/Chinese Related Television and Radio Web Sites) http://www.startv.com/eng/corporate/index.html (jobs at Star TV) http://webgrrls.cybergrrl.com/hk/ (for Webgrrls Hong Kong) Sorry, I couldn''t find ATV World (The English language version) on the net. Good Luck "

" This is so strange, yet so comforting. Although I still have two years before I graduate, I also will have a JD/MBA when I''m done. Since I''m originally from HK, I plan to practice there once I''m done. I know in order to practice in HK, you''ll have to pass their ''bar'', which is called the PCLL. Unless you can hook up with a US firm with a branch office in HK, it''ll be difficult to skip the year-long PCLL. I heard some people did it while they worked, but I don''t know how wise that would be. I actually will be in HK this summer on a study abroad program. I thought I can take out two months and see if I truly like it there or not. Other than a law firm, have you thought about working for a consulting firm, like Accenture, or an investment bank? Keep me posted as to how it goes. I''d be interested to know what the climate''s like. Good luck! "
