Reaching the end of a job interview,
the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
"And what starting salary are you looking for?"
The engineer replies: "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer inquires:
"Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation,
14 paid holidays,
full medical and dental,
company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary,
and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?"
The engineer sits up straight and says: "Wow! Are you kidding?"
The interviewer replies: "Yeah, but you started it."
