Question 1: Salary vs Stability — whose future are you protecting?
Live situation; Rohit Meena, 24, BA graduate, first-generation learner from Dausa district, Rajasthan. Rohit currently works as a Junior Accounts Assistant in a small private logistics firm in Jaipur, earning ₹18,000 per month.
The job is stable, working hours are fixed, and his family feels relieved that he is “settled”. Last week, Rohit received another offer:
• Company: Growing e-commerce warehouse operator
• Role: Operations Executive
• Location: Gurugram
• Salary: ₹30,000 per month
• Reality: Long working hours, performance pressure, uncertain continuity
Rohit’s elder sister tells him: “The salary is higher, but there is no guarantee about how long the job will last.”
Rohit comes to you and asks: “If I were your younger brother, what would you honestly advise me to do?”
What advice would you give Rohit?
