Associate Role in High Yield Capital Markets

We are seeking a high yield role for an associate with 2-6 years of prior qualification experience (PQE) within a top-tier capital markets practice at a premium US firm in London. The team advises on some of the largest and most complex high yield, equity, and debt issuances in the market.

About the Team

While the US specialist team is particularly well-known for acting for corporate issuers, there is also the opportunity to represent underwriters. The team is highly sought after to advise lenders on leveraged buyouts, particularly when there is a complex bond financing structure.

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.
