Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources rep asked a young engineer fresh out of university “And what starting salary were you looking for?”
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 week’s vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2 years… say, a BMW?”
The engineer sat up straight and said “Wow! Are you kidding?”
And the interviewer replied “Yeah, but you started it”.
