HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Finance executive Sze Tam and her family of four will soon leave Hong Kong, where she has spent her entire life, bound for Melbourne.

The senior manager at an international bank plans to look for a job once she gets there by early next year. Tam is hopeful that she will be able to secure employment in the financial sector just as quickly as her friends who moved to the Australian city.
