My friend gave me a cutting from her office plant. I cut most of the brown/black rot off. But it still doesnt look great. Should I give up?

Advice from a novice: You have a node. Maybe keep the water shallower or prop in a vial-shaped thing where it can be suspended in water without too much exposure to the stem and leaf
I’ve seen simple node cuttings of stems become beautiful potted plants. It’s possible, but it also takes attention
That’s good advice.
As long as you treat it right, ( per first comment) I’d say you have a 99% chance.
Keep it in some water and change the water weekly! I have two different monstera propagations in water right now and they’re growing insane roots and everything!

Like 95%, since you asked.
There’s a node!!!! You’re good
It might. But getting a new leaf will take very long to almost impossible. Roots are almost a guarantee.
The node is spent.
This isn’t a top cut. There is no active growth point. The plant would need to grow roots, survive, and eventually grow a new spike from the leaf.
You can speed this up by removing the leaf once the root systems are dense enough.
High chance of survival! Just stick her in water and wait
