Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, “Whatstarting salary were you thinking about?”The Engineer said, “In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”
The interviewer said, “Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?”
The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?” The interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you started it”.
