It shows independence, motivation, and other HR buzz-words in you :). @manuscrypts

Coming to your question hmmm ... what is risk .. if you can ensure food .. shelter ... may be school for your kids (if it applies to you) .. then I guess its gonna be fine .. you may have to skip on barista and coffee days and vactions etc though .. I guess we have a very different perception of risk here in Bangalore. Do you agree to that? Career damage no longer applies from what I know! @manuscrypts thanks for the comment.
