View opportunityHong Kong remains the centre for strategies that need proximity to mainland China markets, particularly equities and derivatives. Headcount has been more volatile than Singapore's, but firms running China-focused books continue to hire, and Mandarin capability plus onshore market knowledge carries a real premium.
Pay varies more by function and seniority than by city. The salary pages model each function for Hong Kong with the basis they use; adverts that publish pay show it on the listing.
Each firm runs its own loop. The guides below cover Jane Street, Citadel / Citadel Securities and Jump Trading in Hong Kong, stage by stage.
Modelled total compensation for the functions hiring here, in HKD. KnowQuant applies a Hong Kong index of 0.85 to its New York reference bands, rounded to the nearest 5k. These are estimates, not offers.
| Function | Entry level (modelled) | Most senior band (modelled) |
|---|---|---|
| Quant Researcher | HK$1.5m to HK$2.6m | HK$5.3m to HK$17m |
| Quant Trader | HK$1.3m to HK$2.6m | HK$6m to HK$20m |
| Quant Developer | HK$1.2m to HK$2m | HK$3.3m to HK$8m |
| Quant Analyst | HK$830k to HK$1.3m | HK$2.2m to HK$4.6m |
