Jobs in Vietnam

Choosing a good place to work in Vietnam is quite easy. When considering working in Vietnam’s major cities, expats can choose between Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh in the south. Otherwise there are multiple emerging smaller cities, such as Da Nang, Na Thrang, and Hue, which are especially good for those interested in a laid back atmosphere.

Ho Chi Minh. Strategically located in the southernmost part of the country, Ho Chi Minh is the gateway of Vietnam to Southeast Asia. The city is jam packed with job opportunities for both expats and local job seekers alike. It is definitely a fast-growing city with an equally growing job market, particularly in the IT industry, finance, and engineering and construction fields.

Hanoi, located in the northern part of the country, is known for its rich culture and its centuries-old architecture. The mix influence of Southeast Asian, Chinese, and French influences makes the city extraordinary. It is a fascinating blend of East and West, combining traditional Sino-Vietnamese motifs with French flair. The bustling city of Hanoi is specifically well known as a great location for teaching English abroad.

Da Nang is the third largest city in Vietnam and is growing into the most organized urban the area. The city of Da Nang is known among the Vietnamese people for its speedy real estate and private property development, but it is better known for its authentic cuisines. Due to the low influx of visitors in Da Nany, resident’s lives still take place in much the same way as they did decades ago, providing expats with a very traditional way of life.
