Not a chance will they be able to hire DEFO straight into HKG, not without paying billions in bypass pay to exisitng S/O's.
Even if they do, what you can expect with the most current package is work your butt off for your cozy little 400 sq ft apartment (useable area about 300 sq ft), in which your single bed snugly fits right in between the walls. Perfect for you to bang your head upon waking up every morning, wondering what the heck were you thinking coming here in the first place. And of course you can do that for at least 6 years as well cause you'd be in so much debt the second you put ur autorgraph on that contract with the newly introduced "forgivable loan".
As for getting a European base, sure you can. If you join in your early 20's, planning to work till 65, you *might* get it just before you hang it up. That's provided they can eventually sort their sh*t out with the IRD, if ever.
