My co-workers and I are looking for new jobs because our jobs are going to another company in the spring. Wes is always advising us to ask for a higher salary than offered. I hope he finds this story as funny as I do. I re-wrote it just for him.
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Manager asked the young Data Analyst, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The candidate confidently replied, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer mulled this over for a few moments and asked, "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 T-Bird to start?"
The Analyst sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?"
And the Manager replied, "Certainly, ...but you started it."
