Short supply of workers drives IT salaries through the roofA big gap between the demand and supply for senior developers with management skills drove up the average salary. Developers are mostly located in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, making up 65 and 30 per cent of the total. 93 per cent of developers in Vietnam are men, 6 per cent are women. TopDev’s data showed that the demand for senior developers with start-up skills rose sharply in 2016. As it is difficult to hire senior developers, companies put up very attractive salary and bonus schemes to attract and retain employees.
