Calling everyone in Hong Kong PE: What's your experience?

Hey, if you have worked in private equity in Hong Kong I would love to hear from you!
There's a dearth of information about the industry in HK.
How hard is it to break in? How difficult is it to move up? What are the requirements (soft & hard skills) to succeed? What does comp and carry distribution look like compared to the US? Any regrets/things you would do differently? Do you like your job for the most part?
Would love to hear your stories.
