Opportunities for technology workers

Recently, the news that Nvidia – the world’s leading chip manufacturer and one of the leading technology companies in artificial intelligence (AI) – is expanding recruitment in Vietnam has created great attraction for the community. technological labor.

Positions posted on LinkedIn not only open up attractive job prospects but also promise a modern working environment and the opportunity to participate in world-class technology projects.

This move took place not long after CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Vietnam, who once affirmed: “Vietnam is Nvidia’s second home.” During the trip, Nvidia signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Vietnamese Government, including the establishment of an AI Research and Development (R&D) Center and AI Data Center.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh pledged to create favorable conditions for these projects to be implemented effectively, and asked Nvidia to support the National Innovation Center (NIC), under the Ministry of Planning and Investment, technology enterprises and technical universities to promote the domestic technology ecosystem.

Nvidia is committed to supporting Vietnam in developing AI in accordance with global trends, while respecting the country’s culture, history and actual conditions.

Nvidia’s presence in Vietnam brings great expectations in the technology community. Many software engineers, AI experts and technology developers see this as an opportunity to participate in international projects, improve their skills and affirm their position on the global technology map. Some opinions say that this investment will create a strong wave of innovation, while promoting Vietnam to become a regional technology center.

However, Nvidia’s entry also means increased competitiveness in the field of technology personnel. Domestic businesses will need to improve remuneration policies and build a more attractive working environment to avoid the risk of “brain drain” towards international corporations.

Nvidia’s recruitment process is famous for its rigor. According to a Glassdoor survey, 60% of candidates interviewing at Nvidia said they had a positive experience, while 18% had a negative experience and 23% were neutral.

Nvidia’s recruitment process lasts from 3-8 weeks, including many rounds of interviews. The first stage is resume screening, where recruiters focus on the candidate’s skills, experience, and projects. Next, candidates must pass technical phone interviews, lasting about 1 hour, to solve coding, algorithm and data structure problems. Excellent people will enter a series of face-to-face interviews, each session lasting about 45 minutes, testing programming skills (C++, Python), knowledge of computer architecture, embedded systems and ability to solve real-life situations. international.

The final round comprehensively evaluates the ability to handle situations, critical thinking and the ability to adapt to corporate culture.

A testament to Nvidia’s attraction is the story of Linh Nguyen, an employee of the corporation’s recruitment department. Joining Nvidia in 2010, Linh and her team screen hundreds of resumes every day to find young talents, contributing to building the company’s global team.

According to her, to be successful at Nvidia, candidates not only need the ability to communicate, think critically and solve problems, but must also demonstrate a passion for technology and an understanding of the company’s mission. Experiences from extracurricular activities, volunteering or specialized courses are all advantages that help candidates stand out.

Nvidia’s expansion of operations in Vietnam not only affirms the potential of domestic human resources but also poses a big challenge for the domestic technology industry. The presence of an international “giant” like Nvidia requires Vietnamese businesses to strongly improve from human resource policies to competitiveness.
