Career Change by Raggers
Looking for a different job in Hanoi that isn't teaching. I feel like teaching is not really for me although I have done it for 3 years. So I was wondering if there are any other jobs out there for a foreigner?

Availability comes down to your qualification. For example, recently got contacted by Vincom group for Director of Marketing position. What I see is that whatever skillset you have, you try to be part of that industry community to give yourself ... Read More

What's your budget? Most agent don't deal with anything below $400 USD from my experience. That means the cheapest property they'll show you is $400 or higher. Having said that, if your budget is higher than the threshold. I'd used ... Read More

I subscribe to NFL GamePass so I can watch on-demand all the games all the way to Super Bowl. Understandably watching it at sport bars does give that added social dimension. I'm the Chargers fan and they're not a big name team. So these ... Read More
