Portfolio careers
Ready to embrace flexibility, autonomy and freedom? With a portfolio career you’re the one in charge.
What is a portfolio career?
A working style that allows you to make money in several different ways, whilst focusing on work that you’re passionate about.
Synonyms: Solopreneur, independent worker, squiggly careerist
Every portfolio professional is different, but here are four types of portfolio career that pop up time and time again:
Multi-hyphenate
You juggle a diverse mix of unrelated projects (often all at the same time)
Side hustler
You make extra money from passion projects outside of your day job
Freelancer
You’re self-employed and work on a short term project or contract basis
Focused expert
Your expertise is highly specialised; you charge top rates for it and monetise it in many ways
