The Problem
The problem is not your skill. It is clarity.
Most technology professionals already have valuable skills. What they lack is a clear, country-specific plan for packaging, pricing, positioning, and transitioning safely.
You do not know if you are ready
There's no objective measure of readiness — and gut feeling isn't enough when your income is on the line.
Your CV and LinkedIn are not contract-ready
Permanent-style profiles don't win contract work. Most people only find out after the rejections.
Day rates, tax, and setup feel confusing
Rates, tax obligations, company structure — it's all guesswork without a framework for your country.
You do not know where to find your first contract
Knowing you're ready is one thing. Knowing where to look — and how to pitch yourself — is another.
Why SoloShift Exists
Built from the journey most professionals are trying to make.
SoloShift is based on real contracting and consulting experience across the UK, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands since 2016 — not theory, not a course written by someone who's never done it.
It was created to help technology professionals avoid the confusion of figuring this out alone, position themselves properly, and move into freelancing, contracting, or consulting with an actual plan.
Freelancing and contracting experience since 2016
Built for data, analytics, cloud, and tech professionals
Practical guidance based on real-world consulting experience
Designed to support future independent consultants
The SoloShift Method
From uncertainty to a clear roadmap.
Five stages from employed to independent — the framework behind your assessment and roadmap. Every plan SoloShift builds moves you through them.
Assess
Understand your freelance readiness.
Experience, finances, positioning, business setup — scored honestly, no validation theatre.
Position
Improve your LinkedIn, CV, niche, and personal brand.
Contract work is bought differently — your profile has to sell an offer, not a career history.
Prepare
Get clarity on business setup, finance, and risk.
Company structure, tax, runway — the practical groundwork, specific to your country.
Launch
Start outreach, apply for contracts, and set your rate.
A pipeline, a rate you can defend, and the first engagement won.
Grow
Move from freelancer to consultant and build long-term independence.
Higher-value engagements, repeat clients, and a business that outlasts any one contract.
How It Works
Three steps to independence
From uncertainty to a clear, actionable plan in under 10 minutes.
Take the Assessment
Answer questions about your country, experience, skills, career goals, LinkedIn, CV, finances, and freelance readiness.
