About This Opportunity
We are conducting independent research into the education advisory market, specifically focusing on consultants who assist families with school selection and university admissions. We're looking to understand which advisors are genuinely best-in-class to inform our guidance.
We are seeking insights from school-side professionals who have observed these advisors firsthand: how they operate, the outcomes they achieve, and their effectiveness. Your unique vantage point is crucial for this study.
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.
