What you should know when considering working for NGOs in Hong Kong

 

What’s your opinion of working for NGOs? I’ve been in project management for about 15 years and, being fairly comfortable financially, I’m thinking it’s time to do something a bit more meaningful. I don’t mind taking a salary cut, but I’m more worried about career development and doing interesting work – can NGOs offer a level comparable to a for-profit multinational? Are there any other options available apart from full-time work? Are part-time roles common in the non-profit sector?
