“I couldn’t believe it!  After only a few months on the job answering phones and fetching coffee, there I was, debriefing the president… …Getting involved in executive branch affairs is just fantastic!”

Outlandish Expectations

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked a young engineer fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The engineer 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 – say, a red Corvette?”

The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

And the interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you started it.”
