Comment by Roopak A N on "When going for a new job, what do you prefer, and why?"

What about the financial risk of a startup? I have been burned before financially, and as a family provider, I now shy away from startups because of that alone. I look for companies that are turning a profit, and preferably without VC money involved. Not that that's always bad, but when venture capital is in play, the company mindset shifts considerably. It's all about what the VCs want, not what the company wants. (In my experience, anyway.) If I were single and had little personal overhead to worry about, then startups would be more interesting to me.
