A portfolio career appeals to a number of different groups of people:
- People with multiple interests who are independent, creative and/or entrepreneurial in nature tend to be drawn to portfolio careers, as they can find the hierarchical nature of law firms and corporates stifling.
- Young workers wanting to travel and study also find portfolio careers appealing.
- Working mothers seek the flexibility of a portfolio career to successfully combine their career and family.
- Executives over 55 who want a new challenge but face ageism when seeking a new full-time role may choose a portfolio of part-time jobs.
- Executives not ready for retirement who want to keep purposeful, can create a portfolio, gradually reducing their working hours while taking on non-exec director/volunteer roles, and increasing their leisure time as they wind down to 100% retirement.
