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

[Truong Anh Tuan]

Hi Tom et all,

Thank you for this so interesting topic.

In Vietnam, before receiving anything, you should share yourself.
In this case, when you are a FOSS admin or expert, and you would like to get salary information, I think you know what you should do here.

I work for iWay, an FOSS related IT firm, based in Hanoi.
Additionally,  I work as part time administrator for some US, AU companies with salary about $7 - $10 per hour.
Hope someone can share this kind of information to help you, me and all of us have a good view.
 
Kind regards,
Tuan TRUONG

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

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
