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.

Who Could Suit It?

- An experienced M&A adviser with a strong regional or sector network

What matters most is a combination of commercial relationships, transaction credibility and the ability to build trusted relationships with business owners. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly packaged £1m book of business on day one. They are more interested in understanding the network you have developed, where opportunities naturally come from and what you could build with the right platform around you.
