Vẫn đang ở Việt Nam. Dự kiến cày 2-3 tháng để có cơ hội on-site. Gần như chỉ có các kĩ năng nghiên cứu chuyên nghiệp, nhưng học nghiệp vụ thì chắc có vẻ không phải trở ngại. Giờ cày cuốc xuyên đêm thì có offer để on-site thị trường Mỹ-Âu không?

How are your English skills?
I read your post and I’m wondering why people want to work in the US or the EU without knowing what might happen to them or what to expect.
I worked in Cupertino, California, for ten years and I know what US companies expect from their employees. Under Trump, working conditions are now significantly more difficult for non-whites, especially for people from Vietnam and China. If I were you, I wouldn’t consider the US as a place to work unless you have exceptional qualifications.
As a retiree living in the EU, I can tell you that the EU is increasingly becoming a copy of the US when it comes to immigration and foreigners. Even liberal countries like Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are restricting entry for foreign workers. Germany doesn’t make a big fuss about immigration and foreign workers, but it quietly operates in the same way as Denmark. Italy, France, and the Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) also have their own entry restrictions. Only Spain is a bit more open to foreign workers. In addition to the local language (e.g., French, Spanish, German, etc.), you need to speak good English if you want to find a job in the EU.
FYI: To live decently in the USA or the EU, you should earn at least €4,000 or $4,000 net per month. This is because various insurances such as health insurance, rent, transportation costs, etc., can easily exceed €/$1.5 K

May I ask what other skills are needed to work there besides language skills?
Thank you very much.

Language is key to communicating with locals. Without it, you’ll become isolated and homesick. Within the company, you’ll need at least very good written and spoken English skills to collaborate effectively with your colleagues. In the EU (at least in France, the Benelux countries, and Germany), professionals with expertise in AI and machine learning are in high demand. These skills offer excellent opportunities to work in a wide range of companies: from the automotive industry (e.g., Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Stellantis) and automotive suppliers (e.g., Bosch) to the defense industry (e.g., Rheinmetall, KNBS, Airbus Defence) and numerous defense startups in Munich/Berlin, Paris/Lyon, or Stockholm.
Since the UK is no longer part of the EU, it’s more difficult for Vietnamese citizens to obtain a work permit due to the high number of illegal immigrants from Vietnam.
Generally, you’ll need at least a Master’s degree in your field (Thach Si?). Software, mechanical, and electrical engineers have excellent career prospects in the EU, with average salaries exceeding €50,000 per year (up to €100,000). Curiously, nurses are also in high demand, but their income is lower and varies by country (Germany: up to €40,000, France: up to €30,000, Luxembourg: up to €50,000, etc.). And by the way, doctors (Bac si) have no chance in the EU.

If you don’t mind, may I ask for your perspective on career paths in AI and machine learning in the EU?
I would greatly appreciate any advice you could share. Thank you very much.
That’s a tricky question, as I’ve been retired since 2015 and no longer actively work in software development, although I’m currently very involved with AI and ML in my free time.
However, career prospects in AI and ML are very good in France, Germany, and Ireland (the three major technology hubs). Depending on your talent (or skills), you can advance your career quickly. This EU document (HERE) provides an overview of the AI and ML areas where you can best work.
AI and ML require far more than just programming skills in Python, Scala, Java, or C++. It’s about how to imagine an abstract approach, how to understand it, how to visualize it, and then how to transform it into a viable solution using human intelligence. And about using that solution as the foundation for ML. These “hows” are crucial, not your university degree. If you master these skills, you can quickly become a project leader or manager and your income will be in the six figures in €.

You’re welcome. As I mentioned, in addition to the respective national language (German, French, Dutch, etc.), you also need sufficient English skills to work in a team that typically consists of engineers from other EU member states.
