Deep dives
What is a portfolio career?
A portfolio career is when you have more than one source of income or when you think about your career in a zigzag manner, transitioning from one field or role to another. It could involve having multiple revenue sources simultaneously, such as a day job, side hustle, and consulting work. Alternatively, it could mean sequential career changes, where you pivot and pursue different paths consecutively. The key is to acknowledge that you are more than any one job and to embrace the idea of diversification to future-proof your career.
