TL;DR
Based on these reports, relying on local jobs in Da Nang without remote income is risky: legal jobs for foreigners are described as low-paid, with about RUB 35,000–40,000 per month mentioned as a rough local-market benchmark. A more practical option suggested is to calculate a minimum Da Nang living budget first and secure remote work.
What the community said
One view in the discussion is that legal work for foreigners in Vietnam is risky and poorly paid. The local market benchmark mentioned is roughly RUB 35,000–40,000 per month, which is seen as a weak income level for living in Da Nang without extra earnings.

Another practical takeaway is that remote work aimed at an external market may be far better than local employment in Vietnam. For comparison, the chat mentions a Russia-focused call center job paying about RUB 45,000–50,000 per month as a more comfortable option than local vacancies.

The most cautious conclusion is not to move to Da Nang expecting to ‘get established’ through the local job market alone. The advice is to calculate a minimum Da Nang cost of living first—rent, food, and basic expenses—and secure remote work rather than relying on ad-hoc local jobs.
