Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The candidate said, “In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the 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 Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow!!! Are you kidding?”

And the HR Person said, “Certainly, …but you started it.”

By the way, comments are there for a reason. I expect that you use it daily.

Thats a good one but i am not sure i completely understand the Hr person saying quote ‘…but you started it.’ could someone email me what it means?

When he says “…but you started it” he means that the figure the hopeful employee wanted was so unrealistic, he had to be kidding; or something like that.
