On an unrelated note, is being able to understand and speak Mandarin/Kanto a must to work in HK? Also, what PQE is required (or desired) in order to lateral to a HK MC or US firm?
Cantonese is never a requirement if you are looking at international firms in HK. Mandarin is almost a strict requirement as an entry level hire, but at higher PQE levels firms are willing to overlook Mandarin deficiency if you have other skills of value to offer.

The position they are recruiting for also matters - if you are dealing with mostly mainland clients, impeccable Mandarin is a must.
