Our firm provides the institutional framework, capital, and regulatory training required to qualify for permanent sponsorship.

This is a performance-driven position focused on G10 currencies and financial derivatives. Analysts are responsible for identifying market opportunities, executing systematic trading strategies, and managing downside risk in strict accordance with our firm’s mandates.
Entry Requirements & Qualifications
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.
