Is it possible to find an engineering job in Vietnam?

Figures for both would be higher now, but I was making 20 million VND a month as an ESL teacher while my neighbor, an electrical engineer working for a major development firm, was making 17 million and working 6 days a week.  What is you husband's native language and has his English level been subject to a verifiable test?

My husband and I really want to go to Vietnam. However, I would like to know if it's possible or not to work in Vietnam as a foreigner engineer. He's an electronic engineer and he has more than 10 years experience in our home country. I know this question might sound stupid, but still, I would really appreciate some experiences in this topic.

In theory, anything is possible. Vietnam is a rapidly developing country that is becoming more industrialized. However, your husband should contact potential employers as jobseekers normally do:

Vietnam Works - electronics engineering   All locations:
https://www.vietnamworks.com/electronics-engineering-kw
30 jobs matched "electronics engineering"

Vietnam Works - electronics engineer   All locations:
https://www.vietnamworks.com/electronics-engineer-kw
47 jobs matched "electronics engineer"

Engineering is tough because they crank out engineers by the boatload.  I have a degreed civil engineer and a degreed mechanical engineer that work for me.  They are Vietnamese and are working for 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 respectively for a 48 hour 6 day week.  If he's willing to work for $600 a month for a six day week and can speak Vietnamese and English he can probably find a job.  Good luck!

The OP's husband is a completely different field.
