On paper, it looks like a natural next step. In reality, it’s a transition that challenges even the strongest candidates. So what’s the hardest part? For many, it’s shifting from execution to ownership - thinking like an investor, not an advisor. For others, it’s the learning curve in value creation, not just valuation. And for some, it’s the culture shift, faster decisions, higher accountability. At Blacklock Group, we see this transition play out every week. The candidates who succeed are the ones who balance analytical precision with commercial intuition and know how to think like an owner from day one. We’d love to hear from you. What do you think is the toughest part of making the move? #PrivateEquity #InvestmentBanking #FinanceCareers #CareerMoves #BlacklockGroup
