Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young
Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting
salary were you looking for?"
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 two years - say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
