Pick A Starting Salary

**PaNkAJ** · 10-25-2007, 10:12 AM

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."
