This friend of mine is the CEO of a large vietnamese group of companies, but after looking at the terms offered , i told him that its seriously difficult to get someone with the calibre they want with that sort of pay. US$3000 a month with another US$500 of housing subsidy. No transport allowances and no other allowances, salary still subject to income tax. I was telling him its tough with such package with the calibre they are looking for. Finally after 2 months, he told me they got a 46 year old American who has been unemployed in US for around 2 years. Staying in HCMC is not cheap nowadays, from housing to daily expenses, they are not far away from Singapore. Best is to be posted by Singapore company to Vietnam as expat, maybe perks and benefits will be better.

after discussing on my salary package.. They offered me $3.5k sgd per mth, hosuing rental they settle full, a year back to sing twice by SQ, cpf contribute.. That's all. I ponder awhile to find issit worth while. after bro singviet mention, maybe my package even sux more big time. lolz
