StrategicMGMT Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 You should ask about placements for both programs and see where you'd rather end up. I think Hong Kong is a more productive university research wise, but if your goal is to teach in Australia maybe staying "local" is best?

ted23 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm from Australia originally and am starting a US PhD this fall. I can tell you that the way the Aussie job market is going it is very likely that many of the top Australian universities will no longer hire local graduates anymore. I can tell you in my field (Finance), many of the top schools have already moved that way.If I were you I'd pick the foreign option- HK or if you have the time to think about reapplying next year to US programs.
