Reaching the end of a job interview, the recruiter asked the young engineer fresh out of school
- And what starting salary were you looking for?
- In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package.
- 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?
- Certainly, but you started it.
