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.

🤝 The Environment
This is a small private office rather than a large corporate environment, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working autonomously and taking ownership of their workload.
You'll be supporting a principal who is widely regarded as respectful, personable and considerate, whilst gaining exposure to an influential global network spanning business, government, philanthropy and social impact.
The role offers a busy and varied workload, but within a professional and collaborative environment where trust, discretion and good judgement are highly valued.
