    So, on reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you thinking about?" 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?" The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

      lol :laugh: I bet he gets a Porche. After all he's in Europe ;P I was Only beeing serious toward the salary. 125.000 per year doesn't seem that much for a senior devolper in a non low cost country.

      All the best, Dan

                My CEO cleared 15.5 million last year. I could only dream of making that in a life time via winning the Lottery.

                        I keep getting e-mails offering me an Indian condo in a city I can't pronounce - the price is right, but the commute to work would be a killer (I'm in Southern California) :doh:

                          Your CEO is not fresh out of MIT. If money was your prime motivator then you are in the wrong forum, people here like to spend money, making money is called work.

                          Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
