THE INTERVIEW
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."
