?%
You tell your clients to invest for the long term. Do you follow the same advice when it comes to your career?
At this company there's no validation to earn bonus and you get 10% on all your ongoing.
Not bad when you'll inherit £90,000 - £105,000 of ongoing in year one. Plus your salary (£45,000), plus car allowance (£3,600) and company profit share (£1,800).
Put simply, before writing any new business, year-one earnings should be around £60,000 once salary, car allowance, profit share and inherited ongoing income are included. Any new business sits on top and pays at 15%, again with no validation.
As for new business, this is a firm with realistic expectations. They have a £20,000pa "target" but you still earn bonus on everything up to £20,000. And given the client book you'll inherit it won't be a problem for you to write a lot more than that (c£60,000 the year before last).
The salary is a starting point, not a ceiling. The firm has introduced a career journey plan giving you a clear overview of what you need to do to rise through the ranks.
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.
