Salary yes, a few K away, but for career path i would say the difference is not as huge as thought.

Sometimes it's more about the department and team head, and obviously your performance as well. SCBHK's IG may still need to find our a department for your to land after your prorgamme, but not everyone needs to do that. So, IG is surely better but you still need to be so aware of your personal branding in different teams to grab a landing seat.
