Companies to pay $2,000 a month to new university graduates
Some Vietnamese companies have confirmed they are willing to offer monthly pay of $2,000 to new university graduates. Le Quang Tien, former vice president of FPT, the Vietnamese largest information technology group, conducted a mini survey on salaries for new graduates after a debate about the issue was raised. A debate among the public had occurred after Pham Thi Thanh, a university student, asked “How can I need to learn and work to receive a starting salary of $2,000?”. The question by the student of the Academy of Cryptographic Techniques, raised at a discussion on the role and responsibility of the young generation in the information society, was seen as unreasonable. A report of VietnamWorks, one of the best known job networks in Vietnam, showed that new school graduates can expect the pay of between $251 and $500 a month, or 4-8 times lower than the dreamed level.
