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.

Google Fixed-Term employees will need to secure pre-approve from their VP to apply for this role as your current team will not be able to back-fill you for the duration of your bungee, and so will need to pre-agree to loan your headcount to DeepMind for the duration of the bungee. Google FTC employees, and those impacted do not need this approval.
