Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The Growth Path

This is where it gets interesting.

  • Start as a BDE/Account Manager on the conversion floor. Prove yourself.
  • When your numbers are talking consistently, not occasionally, the door to Senior Account Manager (Retention) opens.
  • That means managing clients who have already deposited, building long-term relationships and a significantly higher earning ceiling.

The timeline is yours to control. We have seen it happen in four months.

What We Are Looking For

  • A natural communicator - someone people warm to quickly.
  • Resilience under pressure. Not every call goes your way.
  • Hunger to grow, not just to start.
  • Coachable - the system works if you work it.
  • Professional telephone manner and strong written communication.
  • Commitment to ethical conduct and FCA compliance standards.

No finance degree needed. Attitude and drive will take you further here than any qualification.
