I am currently looking at moving to Hong Kong planning on working in the accounting or finance field, but am curious as to the typical working hours of white collar staff in Hong Kong, are they still working typically six day working weeks or is that mainly for unskilled labour? Also what is the typical office working day? is it 9am to 6pm

It depends on your job. Most likely the office hour is 9 to 6 Mon to Fri plus a half day on Saturday. White collar in HK works pretty crazy that a lot of people work 8am to 8pm. (The higher your salary is, the more you have to work.)

it's depends on what co. u r working 4. most of the JAP / USA owned co. work 5 days only now fr Mon to Fri. we dun work 6 days..... top = 5 n a half days only. i mean half day on Sat. like my co. / it's a HK base co. i work 9am to 5:30pm Mon to Fri then long/short week during Sat. so, 5 days a week n the other week 5 n a half days. just like that. in finance field.......u definately = a white collar. so need not work on SUN normally. HK is an exciting place to live. u wil not feel bore in either way. nitelife is even more exciting.... come & join us!
