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 2 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." |
