      Pros

      Good clientele in HK, lots of big insurance and banking companies After 2 years you will get headhunted giving you range of options and good salary boost Trainers are nice and open, willing to give any sorts of advice

      Cons

      Can’t really choose placement if company wants you Can’t negotiate salary for first 2 years Placement choices will be limited to open opportunities at the time you join and complete training Wouldn’t recommend joining software development role without any technical degree or past experience

      Glad to hear you made the most of FDM’s exciting projects with top-tier clients in Hong Kong’s banking and insurance sectors, backed by training from our Coaches to grow your skills. Our team is dedicated to ensuring our consultants see strong career growth, and it’s great to know your experience reflects that. We understand that assignment opportunities and roles are based on market demand at the time, and while our team works to align roles with individual strengths, some factors remain outside our control. With the rapid evolution of the tech market, adaptability and diversifying your skillset are key to setting yourself apart. Managing expectations is important to us, and we continue to refine our approach to ensure consultants are set up for long-term success in tech. Thanks for sharing your insights and being a part of FDM. Feel free to reach out to hk.peopleteam@fdmgroup.com if you’d like to discuss your experience further.

      A path to the top corporations

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      An ideal launchpad for newcomers, providing hands-on experience with leading financial firms from day one. For me, this included Citigroup and HSBC, where I eventually secured a permanent role.

      Cons

      There’s no dedicated office for consultants in Shanghai, which means fewer opportunities to connect and network with fellow consultants in a shared space.

      Good Opportunities If You Got Potential & Work Hard, But Not Guaranteed

      Data engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1: There are indeed many opportunities for you to work for big companies, especially in the financial industry. Some positions are indeed very good opportunities for fresh graduates. 2: For Hong Kong, the monthly pay is acceptable for a first job. And your pay will increase with the time you spend in your placements. 3: Training program is a great refresh of your communication and coding skills. You will be picking up some basic concepts, doing some basic coding exercise and training your communication skills before you start your interview with the placements. 3: Basically companies pay a premium to FDM to hire you, and the premium keeps FDM running as a company. So in some sense, if you work hard and accumulate your reputation, you are likely to get a better compensation for the job after your contract with FDM.

      Cons

      1: Opportunities are not guaranteed. Luck is a major factor in this company. You need to work hard, have the right knowledge of course, but having a good placement sometimes depend on luck too. In FDM, given the wide range of FDM's customer, sometimes luck will push you to different industries (Financial, FMCG, Utilities) too. This is fair but do know this risk before you join. 2: No year-end bonus. 3: You have no information about your work place, work pattern (remote or on-site), workload and even industry before your placement. Work life balance depends on you placement. But some placements, including mine, are really great in terms of WLB. 4: You will only receive internship level compensation before your first placement. However, from my observation this period would not be too long (in my case are only 14 days, and one of my batchmate is 0 day). But again, this is not guaranteed, you need to work hard and perform well for the interview. 5: The potential legal obligation if you leave FDM before your contract end (In my case, two years after my start of the first placement with FDM).
