hi folks,

Couple of months ago i have visited Saigon and i found it very interesting and exciting country. As i  am IT specialist i found the city not very good developed in IT and Telco area. I have made a short research in order to check how much is the average salary in my area, but i couldn't find. Could you please help me in values of average salary in the country as well as average for IT specialists?  Also i am wondering , how much does cost an hour in internet cafe?

thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,

The average of salary in IT and telco field is quite hard to say.
Vietnamese IT staff for a big corporation can reach 800 USD/month. IT specialist maybe get much more.
Vietnamese IT staff in a normal company can earn around 400USD/month.

IT and telco staff in governmental companies can get around 300-400 USD/month, and receive good incentives.

Of course, all positions require experience.

I have no idea about foreigner specialists in this case.

Thuy.
