There just aren't that many jobs for management roles (CPO/VP Product/etc) compared to applicants.
Being in HK probably isn't helping either because there are plenty of qualified candidates across China and ASEAN now as well - especially in the hospitality and B2C space.
Oh 100%. But of course I am not limited to HK at all (in fact I am planning to move to AU next year as I got permanent residence there through their Global Talent visa programme). But nothing there either.
And I'm not limiting myself to CPO or VP roles but yea... this is what it has been
Why aren't you considering CPO roles the US or starting your own company?
I think you are too overqualified for non-VP/CPO roles, and B2C dealflow is dead across ASEAN and China atm so VP/CPO roles are hyper-competitive. It's similar in Australia to a certain extent as well.
That said, best of luck! Your background is fairly strong
