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.

  • A flexible, communicative, and adaptable approach
  • Enthusiastic about embracing new work cultures
  • The ability to rapidly develop close, trusting relationships

Benefits

By joining the Vario Flexible Services bench, you not only join our community of like-minded but diverse flexible professionals but you’re also joining the wider international firm of Pinsent Masons. In addition to the dedicated support you’ll receive from our Vario Account Management Team, you’ll benefit from access to our partners and client relationship teams, professional development lawyers, library services, and other firm resources.

More generally, work you will receive will come in the form of exciting short-term assignments, either from our multi-national clients or from internally within the firm, working alongside our Pinsent Masons colleagues. Assignments vary in scope and seniority but typically last at least six months and can suit those looking to work full-time, part-time, or on an hourly basis. Whilst the majority of our roles are currently performed in a hybrid capacity, some are performed remotely and as such we see opportunities to support Pinsent Masons and our clients across the UK and would welcome applications accordingly.
