Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of Harvard, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The candidate said, "Given my educational attainment, in the neighborhood of $150,000 a year, depending on the fringe 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 MBA sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?"
And the HR Person coolly said, "Mmm, actually, yes ...but you started it."
