Transcript:

Hey, Michael. Remember me? I'm Becky. We used to work at Lekmans together. Michael: Oh, sure. How are you? Long time, no see. How are things at Lekmans? 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? Michael: 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? Michael: Well, I can't speak for all universities, but my salary is definitely lower than at Lekmans. I just don't think the salaries are comparable - when you leave a major corporation.

Option 4: "when you leave a major corporation"

Explanation: This option is correct as it directly reflects Michael's statement about salary comparisons. He explicitly mentions that his salary is lower since he left a major corporation, which aligns perfectly with the context of the discussion about job changes and salary expectations.

Option 1: "when you join any university"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention joining a university. Instead, it focuses on the comparison of salaries when leaving a major corporation. The phrase 'join any university' does not align with the context of salary discussions.

Option 2: "when you get into a health organization"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it introduces a new concept of a health organization, which is not discussed in the text. The conversation revolves around Michael's experience at a university and the comparison to corporate salaries, making this option irrelevant.

Option 3: "when you are sitting across the room"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because it refers to a physical location rather than the context of employment and salary. The text focuses on career changes and salary comparisons, not on the act of sitting across the room.
