The key reason (Subject) to compete for a place in the financial industry (PP) is (VERB) income (COMPLEMENT) and (CONJUNCTION), perhaps (??), peer pressure (COMPLEMENT).
Senior management (SUBJECT) in the banking sector (PP) rarely live (VERB) in places (PP) other than Mid-Levels and West Kowloon (??) , and (CONJUNCTION) they (SUBJECT) are (VERB) big fans of Porsche, Mercedes and Jaguar (??) as well as (CONJUNCTION) regular consumers of luxury products (??). Any one of these factors (??) is (VERB) enough to lure the graduates.(??)
