A portfolio career is a path that encompasses several related or unrelated jobs. It might include a variety of job types, contract types, skills, and industries.
“A portfolio career in itself is a portfolio, so it's defined by a diversity of the industries you work in, and the rules you have, or maybe [the] type of work arrangement,” said Simone Anzböck, an international coach and the founder of Prosper Abroad. “A lot of people kind of like the idea of a portfolio career because of the idea of using different skills and the work-life balance.”
For those intrigued by this concept and interested in what this type of career could look like for them, Devex hosted a recent digital workshop event featuring insights from Anzböck.
