We never use, sell, distribute these data for beneficial purposes.
Let's see some distribution first :
As data for other cities is relatively small compared to Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh city, the calculation hereafter will only be calculated based on the data from these two main cities: Ha Noi and HCMC.
Also, due to the low number of managers' data, this report only shows the results calculated from non-managers. Therefore, until we have more data, we will make the additional report for managers.
Most respondents mostly work for a Local startup or Enterprise/Big Corps.
This is the key metrics in this report, please read below to understand how and why we calculate this way
Median salary is a figure that takes many salaries into account and reports the middle number in that set of salaries. When you see a median salary, you know that half of the salaries reported are less than that number and half are higher.
Median refers to the exact middle number in a list. For example, if you have a list of the numbers 7, 14, 23, 27, 31, 45 and 71, the median is 27 because half of the numerals are lower and half are higher.
While monthly salary demonstrates how much you earn each month, the annual income shows how many benefits you get in the long run.
Some Big Corp or growing Product Companies pay more benefits if you work long enough for these companies, even if the monthly salary is not as high as Startups.
Understand the difference between Monthly Salary and Annual Income is significant to choose a company to work with.
The median monthly salary for Senior levels of Ho Chi Minh city is higher than Ha Noi. At the same time, the pay for Junior/Freshers in HCMC is a little higher than Ha Noi.
For example: If I am based in Ha Noi, I want to apply for a Mid level position, my Salary range can be from 14,000,000 to 26,000,000 VND.
Ho Chi Minh city has higher pay for more years of experience. However, when breaking down the pay for fresher (0-1 year of experience), it is the same between the 2 cities.

The number of respondents for each seniority: 56 Juniors, 47 Mids and 51 Seniors
You have seen how different seniorities are paid, but what exactly does each seniority relate to the years of experience?
Nearly 27% of people indicate their years of experience is 1-3 years, and they are currently working as Intermediate/Mid-level.
15% of people indicate their years of experience is 4-6 years, and they are currently working as Senior level.
By far, most agreeable statement are: Intermediate/Mid level can be from 1 - 3 years of experience, and senior can be from 2 - 6 years of experience.
Enterprise and Big Corp salary range can be considered as the industry standards, where Scale-up or growing products and Overseas Startup are paying much higher to attract talents.
Local Startups are paying much lower, while Agency/Outsourcing might need to improve their range a little bit.
As mentioned, the gap of Annual Income vs Monthly Salary of "Enterprise/Big Corps" is better (almost no gap) than those of "Oversea Startups" or "Scale-up and Growing". It appears that the Enterprise/Big Corps offer more compensation end-year bonuses to their employees. If you work long enough for these companies, your income will become more stable in the long run.
Please note that all the data is calculated for people who reside in Vietnam only. Even they work for Oversea Startups, they would work remotely or work at the company's office in Vietnam.
Overseas Startups are trying to steal the seniors from Enterprise/Big Corp and Scale-up Companies, even Mid level is being paid more than others as well.
Enterprise/Big Corp will loose their talents (including both Mid and Seniors) more and more if this trend continues to happen.
Local Startups will find it hard to recruit Mid and Seniors. Meanwhile, Agencies and Outsourcing Companies are still good landing places for Juniors
