Abstract: How do identities get constructed in new employment models, such as umbrella companies, which blur the borders between salary-employment, independent work and entrepreneurship? This exploratory qualitative study inquiries tracks some trajectories, affects and construction of the self of executive in umbrella companies. It sketches a portrait of professionals inventing their own path to practice their expertise in their ways amid liberal discourses, in need of support, sometimes with doubts and angst. At stake is a possible increase of capabilities, a way of life and a mode of subjectivity. However social outcomes of such new employment form still need to be addressed.
