We're hiring a Lead Full Stack Engineer to join a major platform transformation, building modern applications with C#,.NET, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. This is a genuine opportunity to combine hands-on development with technical leadership, driving engineering best practices and helping define the long-term direction of a business-critical product.

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.
