Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person
asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, "What starting
salary were you thinking about?"
The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood 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."
