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.

- Originate and lead debt advisory mandates across UK mid-market transactions
- Develop relationships with private equity investors, lenders and corporate clients
- Deliver strategic funding solutions across acquisitions, refinancing and growth transactions
- Build and shape the firm’s long-term debt advisory proposition alongside senior leadership

Who this suits
You’re an entrepreneurial dealmaker who thrives in a lean, commercially driven environment where individual contribution is visible and rewarded directly. You enjoy building trusted client relationships, creating opportunities and operating with autonomy rather than relying on a large corporate platform.
You’re likely already generating meaningful client revenue and looking for a stronger platform, better deal access and a genuine opportunity to influence the growth of a specialist advisory capability.
