Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human
Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, "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 leased every 2 years -
say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!!
Are you kidding?"
And the HR Person said, "Certainly, ...but you
started it."
