Developer Jokes

« H E email
posted Wednesday, 29 August 2007

Here are two developer jokes, just for laughs. I can't remember where I heard these:

Interviews: A confident college grad is interviewing at a software company. When asked what sort of compensation he's looking for, the grad suggests a 6 figure salary, 5 weeks time off, and free tuition for a masters degree.

"No problem," replied the boss, "We even give you your own company car."

"Really, are you kidding?" asked the grad.

"Well, no... but you started it."

 

Time sheets: A manager was staffing for a new consulting project, and insisted that he needed a developer with at least 15 years industry experience. When he found himself staffed with a young kid, barely out of college, he told his director "You must have made a mistake, this guy is just a kid, but I need someone senior".

"Oh," his director replied, "my bad, I determined his age from the amount of hours he logged in his timesheet."

Here is an alternate form of your first joke;

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

Engineer: "In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package."

HR Person: "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?"

Engineer: "Wow!!! Are you kidding?"

HR Person: "Certainly, but you started it."

Here is an alternate form of your 2nd joke;

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

Engineer: "In the neighborhood of $85,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package."

HR Person: "Well, what would you say to a package of 6-weeks vacation, 16 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 55% of salary and a company car leased every 18 months - say, a blue Porsche?"

Engineer: "Wow!!!!!!!! Are you kidding?"

HR Person: "Certainly, but you started it."

It just gets funnier doesn't it?!
