Congrats on the launch. Is there an email I can contact you for private questions?

You missed out on Saigon by picking Hanoi though :)

I doubt it (even though I run a dev shop w/ Vietnam based engineers). US companies will continue hiring US based engineers. And when Covid is over people will go to the office agai…

Also wanted to add in developed countries (and by corollary, big cities) it is very hard to make friends once you are an adult. When I lived in Vietnam it is 10x easier to date/mak…

East/West can work well as well. I have a team in Vietnam with USA clients and we just do 1h overlap per day. Too many meetings may not be a good thing.

I am here in Vietnam (and was in California a few months ago) and the difference is day and night. Lockdown is super strict here. Everyone wears mask (even when it is only a few ca…

Wait till Asia's borders open. The fanout will go transpacific. Especially in Southeast Asia.

It depends on how you manage the workload I think. I am based in California (and so is my client) and we have a team in Hanoi, Vietnam. We get a lot done as many tasks are done asy…

A few years ago I had to commute from Orange county to Manhattan Beach. It takes 1 hour to get to the office (leaving at 5:15am in the morning) and 1.5 hour to get home (leaving at…

>Trust in the government is at an all time high. Just to clarify you mean trust in the government to handle the pandemic right?

Do you use a service for bookkeeping?

What do you mean set up correctly? And how does 112K turn into 40K taxable?

Any tech dev/company in Bay Area want to set up shop in Vietnam? And live a more balanced life (in terms of dating, traveling, eating good food, etc)? I can help be your local poin…

I am in LA and a friend tells me he can't hire good in house engineers locally. When I suggest Vietnam/etc he indeed mentioned tradeoffs regarding timeshift/culture. I guess you ca…

I would replace Nhatrang with Danang. Danang is the next big coastal tech hub now.

Yeah I know a bunch of QA companies in Vietnam. How did your company find them? I am Vietnamese American myself and have spent a lot of time in the region. It is an amazing place w…

Who are your typical clients/industries? And how long is a typical engagement? And why per hour vs per project pricing?

Anyone interested in Vietnam? I spent tons of time there (Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi) recruiting Vietnamese software developers recently for my own projects and am seriously thinki…

Where do you go to get the box made? What is its cost? And what is shipping cost (for ex within GA) per box? Does shipping cost increase by weight too?

What group in Vietnam? I can't find their channel

"There is a reason that we dont' let the exchanges trade on their own markets against their clients. It's a long learned lesson". Care to elaborate?

On a related topic, what are the pros and cons of having a toll on the freeways during peak hours? I find this works well in many countries.

where is the list of 32 companies?

Is there a list of those 50 companies?

anyone knows if there is a business need for human to train/label data? I have been thinking of going to a place w/ cheap labor cost (perhaps Vietnam) and set up an operation like …
