Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked the young MBA fresh out of school, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The candidate said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The HR person 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 -- say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
The HR person said, "Certainly, but you started it."
