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.

This is a role for someone who can move easily between strategy and execution. That might mean working with a CEO on a growth plan, reviewing the performance of an asset, supporting an acquisition integration, or helping a management team deliver an operational improvement programme.
PRA is a small, entrepreneurial investment business. That gives this role direct access to decision-makers and meaningful influence over both the assets we own and how our investment platform develops.
This role may suit individuals currently working as an Investment Director/Associate Director, Asset Management Director, Portfolio Director, Principal, Senior Director, or in a similar senior infrastructure investment or asset management role.
