Relatively flexible in terms of my work schedule.
Secures me a visa for another couple of years.
My team has shifted entirely to Pune and is now very Indian-centric. This left me incredibly isolated as the only remaining member in Hong Kong.

Pay is fairly pitiful when compared to other tier 1 IBs.
