Rising like a phenomenon, E-Commerce has become a trending industry that Gen Z is actively pursuing. If you’re still considering whether to major in E-Commerce and wondering about future career opportunities, let’s dive into this article with NIIE to explore salary levels and the industry’s growth prospects in the coming years!
I. E-Commerce: Overview & Fun Facts
Before jumping straight into salary details, let’s first understand what E-Commerce (EC) is! Simply put, it’s the study of business in the “virtual world,” where all buying and selling activities take place online. Since 2010, E-Commerce has experienced rapid growth in Vietnam, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. Interestingly, this field goes beyond just online selling—it’s a “4-in-1” combination of Business, Information Technology, Marketing, and Logistics.
Fun fact: Did you know? Many of the world’s top tech billionaires started in E-Commerce! For example, Jeff Bezos, the mastermind behind Amazon, and Jack Ma, the founder of the Alibaba empire and the famous 11/11 Singles’ Day shopping festival that we all love for its massive sales.
II. E-Commerce Salary Levels: From Newbie to Pro
Now, let’s get to the most exciting part—salaries! NIIE will break down each level for you:
