We are working closely with the Partners at this attractive US firm, on a search for a senior level Associate to join the team.
The team is a subset of the London Corporate group, focusing on high-value private M&A. The work is focused on cutting-edge developments in the energy and power sectors - it is not essential to have direct experience of matters in this sector, as the Partners are happy to train up where necessary. It is a close-knit team with an excellent working culture, and will offer the new recruit career progression potential.
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.
