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 replied, “In the region of $250,000 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.”
