Neha took a great risk by quitting her good job in the US to move to the UK with her fiancé Nishant after they married. However, Nishant's job in the UK ended unexpectedly, forcing them to return to India and disrupting their plans. This caused financial difficulties as they had to pay for their wedding and originally planned holiday. However, Neha and Nishant maintained a positive attitude, went on their holiday, and Neha later found an even better job in India with higher pay. In the end, their risk led to rewards like a strong marriage, better understanding of their families, and Neha's current job at Google.

Describe a time when you
took a great risk. What was
the outcome?
Neha Vashishta,!
International MBA Candidate

2. Where I was
❖ I was working in a good position in
a multi-national company!
❖ I had a good pay!
❖ I had been called to the US to work
from the client location!
❖ I was engaged to be married!
❖ Life was good!

3. Why risk it?
❖ I was working in US!
❖ My fiancé, Nishant was working in
the UK!
❖ I wanted us to live together after
our marriage!
❖ My company had no prospects for
me in UK!
❖ One of us had to quit!

4. The big risk
❖ Nishant was already in the UK for over two years. He
wanted to settle there!
❖ After a swot analysis, I decided to quit and join him
after our marriage!
❖ So, I quit my job and came back to India and got busy
preparing for our wedding

5. The risk back-fired
❖ Nishant’s project in the UK ended unexpectedly!
❖ He had to return to India seriously upsetting our plans!
❖ Wedding + Holiday Plan + Setting up home in India
meant a hit to our savings!
❖ And I didn’t have a job

6. We can do this!
❖ No problem! Let’s go on the holiday we planned. ( more
risk, but we can handle it! )!
❖ We’ll get back and start afresh!
❖ Visited the places I always wanted to see!
❖ Met Nishant’s friends in the UK!
❖ Had a great time!
❖ Came back home refreshed and rejuvenated

7. The recovery
❖ My job-hunt started on returning to India!
❖ Joined Global Logic at a senior position with twice the
salary I was drawing earlier!
❖ Savings started to grow again

8. “The man who knows it can’t be done counts the
risk, not the reward.”
- Elbert Hubbard

9. The rewards
❖ Married Nishant, my pillar of strength!
❖ Because we stayed in the country we got to know each
others’ families better!
❖ Got a better job as a result I am now working with
Google!
❖ Gained more confidence in myself by keeping a positive
attitude during the trying times!
❖ As they say - “try try try, until you succeed”

10. The learning
❖ Plans don’t always work!
❖ Keeping a positive outlook helps you get through
difficult situations!
❖ Being preceded by a lot of hard work makes leisure all
the more enjoyable
