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.

Profile

Much like the hedge fund our client manages, this family office will be driven by a shrewd investment strategy and spirit of entrepreneurialism, meaning the successful candidate will need to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment and have an adventurous and tenacious attitude.

As such, we are looking for candidates with a broad skill-set, acquired from prior in-house experience in financial services, ideally from the private equity/wealth/banking arenas, though this is not necessarily a pre-requisite.
