Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young accountant who was fresh out of PwC (A.F Ferguson), "What starting salary were you thinking about?"
The Accountant said, "In the neighborhood of Rs.50,000 a month, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, full medical and dental, Company Retirement Fund to 50% of salary, Executive Share Option Scheme, Profit Related Pay and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a 5 series BMW?"
The Accountant sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
