Safe vs Risky Path

What, if anything, did the Buddha teach about following the most secure path vs venturing out on an unknown but possibly more fullfilling path? To start off, I am very new to Buddhism but am putting great weight into its teachings. This means I am unfamiliar with many teachings. This question is meant to be general but the context in which I began meditating on it was this: - I work at a company which has been stable and provided decent livelihood for my family - I have been all but offerred a job at a new employer in the same field - It is possible that it will provide me with more opportunities for my family in the long term - It is also possible that it will not degrade but not improve our situation The internal debate I am having is over the right course of action in these situations. I tend to favor safe bets/routine against taking chances. This is where I would like some guidance if it can be provided.
