Job interview
Courtesy Brownell's web bench mailer:
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked the hotshot young Engineer, fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The engineer coolly said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer 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 for starters, say, a red Corvette?"
The engineer tried to control his excitement, but sat straight up and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
"Yeah," the interviewer shrugged, "But you started it."

Re: Job interview
My first day orientation in fortune 100 high tech company had slide..." Welcome to a great kennel and you are highly paid dogs"... I am not joking most of fellas with me were from MIT, Cal tech or Carnegie Mellon type guys. There was a toilet seat in conference room and you worked hard to avoid sitting on it LOL
