Maybe pay attention? Depends on what X and Y are, and whether or not it actually succeeds. But if it works, why would you do anything other than incorporate it into your toolkit? Whole 'nother story if Y is in fact ineffective...

Sometimes when people want to run into brick walls, you just need to get out of their way. You also need to not make it your issue.

I learnt digital Marketing and started Interning at this Media House in Mumbai.
I am in the Paid Media Team. They paid 7k as stipend. Now they gave me an offer letter as Media Executive, the role of client coordination and basically a beginner account Manager.
But they've offered a monthly salary of 12k. They said the max they can do is 15k.
The problem here is, I was under the impression that Media houses generally pay higher, but 15k is too less I believe.
I want to know your real thoughts
