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.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme
Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
One thing to be clear on: this role won't have you closing deals or chasing warm leads. It's built around graft, grit, and continuous learning, sharpening core sales skills in a pacey, accountability-driven setup.
You'll probably do well here if you're:
- Unfazed by cold calling and hearing "no"
- A sharp, to-the-point communicator
- Someone who sticks to a process rather than freestyling
- Genuinely interested in how companies turn a profit
- Open to being coached and taking feedback on board
- Able to keep a level head when things get busy

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Extra brownie points for:
- Prior experience in outbound sales or a customer-facing role
- Any background in automotive, marketplace platforms, or performance-driven products
- Ambition to move into bigger commercial roles down the line
Probably not the one for you if: you want inbound or pre-warmed leads, repetitive outbound work isn't your thing, you'd rather be closing than qualifying, or you need everything mapped out from day one.
If you're up for the challenge, curious by nature, and happy starting from a blank page, get in touch.
