How similar are Traditional and Simplified characters?

Or in other words, how hard is it to get by in Hong Kong by knowing only simplified characters? I'm in a dilemma. I'm of Hong Kong descent but born overseas so I don't really know how to read/write Chinese characters, but I can speak Cantonese fluently. I'm looking to move back to Hong Kong in the future so I want to start learning how to read/write. However, family and friends have told me that simplified Chinese is more useful due to the growing influence of Mainland China (and I'm studying business where a lot of clients are from the Mainland), but in Hong Kong, people use traditional.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
