[HanoiLUG] [Off Topic ?] FOSS salaries in VN

[Tom Lancaster]

Hello LUGers,

First, I've been on this list for months now and was convinced it was a 
super-low traffic list... until I checked my .procmailrc. Oh well. Now 
at least I know why I'm always the last to know.

My first meeting was the one with the Intel guys present, but I hope to 
make many more.

Second, and I hope this is not too terribly off-topic:

In the spirit of "FOSS at work" I'm wondering what typical salaries are 
for Vietnamese FOSS experts. Given that Vietnam is a fairly strong MS 
shop, does that mean that MySQL DBAs and Linux Admins are unwanted and 
thus paid less than point-and-click admins? Or does the same principle 
apply as elsewhere: admins and coders from the FOSS side are usually 
more competent than their MSCE counterparts and as such are generally 
paid better?

Looking at figures on vietnamworks.com is a fairly uninstructive way of 
finding out what quality people get paid, so if anyone has any real 
world knowledge of this I'd love to hear about it.

Best regards,

Tom
