About
Built by someone who made the leap
SoloShift exists because the founder spent years as an independent technology contractor — and realised there was no good tool to help professionals make the transition with confidence.
After 9+ years contracting across the UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, and continental Europe — across data engineering, analytics, and platform roles — the founder of SoloShift encountered the same problem repeatedly: talented professionals who were ready to go independent, but didn't know it.
The knowledge gap isn't about skill. It's about the practical things nobody tells you: how to format a contractor CV, what IR35 actually means, how much runway you really need, why your LinkedIn profile is costing you inbound opportunities, and what day rate you should be charging.
Most people find this out the hard way. SoloShift was built so they don't have to.
What we believe
Honest over optimistic
Your readiness score is calibrated to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. We don't have a conversion rate to optimise.
Specific over generic
Tax law in Germany is different from the UK. A data engineer's path to independence is different from a project manager's. SoloShift knows the difference.
Practical over theoretical
Every recommendation comes from real contracting experience, not research papers. If we tell you to do something, it's because it works.
Independent over employed
We don't have corporate sponsors with employment interests. Our only goal is helping you make the shift, on your own terms.
