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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

This is an ideal opportunity to join a successful practice and take on a varied position. They are prepared to mentor someone that has not undertaken all the expected duties, and in fact want to take someone on who is motivated and over time can take on new responsibilities. This would also suit someone from a regional law firm looking to progress into a city firm. Hybrid working is available, but you will be required to work in the office until you are fully up and running.
