I did my accounting degree in NY and I turned down 4 offers from big 8 (there were 8 largest CPA firms then) and accepted an offer from another Big 8 in Canada because I didn't like NY. With what is happening in NY and USA now, I am really glad that I didn't stay.
I enjoy the life in Canada. Money should not be the only reason in choosing where to spend your life.
I left HK when I was 20 and I think I made a right decision then too.

My pension is about 70% of my pre-retirement salary.
