Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resouces Person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT,
“What starting 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 said, “Yeah, but you started it.”
