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.

A note on salary: If your salary expectations sit slightly outside the advertised range, please don’t let that stop you from applying. If you have strong IME/CME experience and an established Medical Affairs network, I’d still really like to hear from you. I’m happy to discuss individual expectations, as well as the uncapped commission structure, as part of an initial conversation.
