Hey, Michael. Remember me? I'm Becky. We used to work at Lemans together.
Oh, sure. How are you? Long time no see. How are things at Lemans?
It's about the same. I've been thinking of making a change myself. Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your job at the university?
No, not at all. Go ahead.
Well, I was wondering what the salaries are like? I mean. . . are they much lower than the corporate world?
Well, I can't speak for all universities, but my salary is a definitely lower than at Lemans. I just don't think the salaries are comparable when you leave a major corporation.
Yeah, that's what I thought. But, I've heard that the perks are better. I was wondering if that was really true.
I'd have to say yes and no on that. I don't get a big end-of-the-year bonus like I did at Lemans but I get to take classes for free if I want to. I've always wanted to get a graduate degree so I'm taking classes now to do that.
Oh, that's great. It sounds like you're really happy with your move.
Yeah, I guess I am. Working at a university is really suits me.
