Ooo anything I read Vietnam, I used to get traumatised. I had an interview with a company there in 2018, that was the meanest and worst interview ever. After 6 rounds of interviews, they made me an offer, and the money was so bad that I started crying. There were 6 difficult interview stages.

I did:

1st Interview - Codility
2nd - Engineering manager interview
3rd - Take home test
4th - Whiteboard Live Coding - pair to pair interview
5th - Design challenge & Refactoring a code within specified time
6th - Live Interview with 6 Developers throwing questions at me.

I could have asked them upfront about the pay range but because I was desperate, I just believed the offer will be good as an International company. I also did not research very well about Vietnam because that country's economic value is in shambles even though they have great social amenities, 24/7 power & good roads.

A friend of mine who travelled to Vietnam 10 years ago came back with nothing, all the money he made there was peanuts, In fact I was better off in Nigeria financially when he came back, now he is desperately trying to relocate to Australia via the Australia Skilled Select program but every thing is super tight atm. Now he is stuck in Nigeria.

How's the tech space? I mean jobs for techies (software developers) Are there jobs and or a good talent pool?

NaijaVietnamese:
You cracked the secret of success as a teacher in Vietnam, which is, avoiding Saigon and Hanoi. Those cities are already over-saturated with teachers from all over the world. Teachers aren’t celebrated in those cities like they’re celebrated in the smaller cities and towns in the provinces.

Which province are you staying?

However, one drawback about having a TRC is that you won’t have need to visit other countries around. And working as a teacher for prolonged periods, especially in smaller towns can become very boring.

Emarvel:
Congrats, so you work as a teacher now?
Was it the same company that sponsor your border run thrice?

Emarvel:
I wish you a safe trip.
But hope you’re not flying in with an E-visa?
If yes, kindly abort mission to avoid regret.

proeast:
Nice one. Was your flight a one way ticket or you paid for a return ticket before arriving in Vietnam?

Emarvel:
I wish you a safe trip.
But hope you’re not flying in with an E-visa?
If yes, kindly abort mission to avoid regret.

Andychinedu:

krumking:
I am trying to download my certificate but can't. Does anyone know a way out of this

ekitimanalways:
DIY is easy but it depends on the passport office. Alausa Passport Office, Ikeja is DIY friendly.

Upzyworld:
The major required documents to get a teaching job in Vietnam is having a first degree, unless you want to do other things (other route different from teaching) meanwhile, only route that I know of is teaching jobs which am doing here. coming to Vietnam without getting all your documents ready might be too difficult to get jobs or even work permit.
I hope this answers your question, please let know other ways I can assist and sorry for late reply.l had been so busy lately.

WhyNa:
I laugh in Swahili. Shey you saw the website says .au.

Are you an Australian passport holder? If so, yes by all means apply online.

If you carry Naiija or African passport.....

tunlex01:
QS is a fantastic job here.
If you have experience, I will advise you go through skilled migration instead of student visa except if getting a masters is really something you want.

evachy:
This is a typical Nigerian mentality.
Please follow the due process as stated.

Thank you.

In addition to what you have written, and to also add my knowledge and experience here in Vietnam,.....my house is a beautiful building, I lived in the 7th floor of a 12 story building. My landlord likes me so much because maybe because I am black, I don't think he had seen a black before, most of the houses here, you don't need to bring any load, as everything is already available, I drive a bike here and I cook so I spent little on transportation and food, my house is free internet.

Talking about teaching here, it's fun as most of the children have not seen black before, this make them to be curious to want to know more about you and ready to listen to you. The classroom is sometime noisy and rough as there method of teaching does not support beating and punishing a child unnecessarily....just make the children happy, that's the goal....if they are happy they will listen to you....
My salary, I earn close to 2000$ monthly as I worked over 100hours in a month at the rate of 20$/hour....I also do some partime jobs at the weekend.... though the price of the private coaching is small but any amount I earn at the weekend for private coaching, there's no way I can finish spending it during the week, because things are cheap.

I forgot to say I lived in the capital HANOI city, a village in HANOI, hoi duc, the village is so lively and beautiful, I can talk more if I am free.

mouyiwa:
Senior man, having a masters doesn't make you a professional na, so how is it equivalent? The job is not even an academic job.😂

Nellsworld:
Master isn't a professional certification, their are professional certifications like doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, engineers, lawyers, data analysts etc cos they have a professional board that give them certification after writing the exams

Curdlebug:
