The fierce race to enter the field with 'huge' income

"Huge" salary but must overcome competition

According to Navigos Group's 2025 salary and labor market report, the Finance/Accounting sector continues to lead in recruitment demand, with outstanding salaries. Personnel in this sector can receive 1.5 to 2 times higher compensation than the same level in other sectors.

In Hanoi , senior management positions in the Financial Services - Securities sector can earn up to VND381 million/month. Head of Finance and Accounting positions also record an average salary of about VND71 million. For experienced personnel, the starting salary can be from VND25 million or more.

Similarly, the Banking industry also offers attractive income opportunities, with director salaries ranging from 305 million to 457 million VND, and experienced employees can earn from 30 to 38 million VND.

The finance and economics sector has attractive salaries that come with extensive knowledge and experience.

However, having a good income means a high level of job competition. Navigos Group's report shows that in the current economic context, the Finance - Banking industry requires employees to have a diverse combination of professional knowledge, technological skills and essential soft skills.

Along with the strong rise of financial technology (Fintech), it is changing the way the entire financial system operates. In addition, green finance and digital banking trends are also increasingly popular.
