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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Cybersecurity experience is highly advantageous, although there is scope to supplement the role with a dedicated senior Security Lead.
Experience across facilities management, building services or field services would be beneficial, but sector experience is less important than seniority, M&A experience and architecture leadership.
Why This Opportunity?
This is not a BAU infrastructure role. It’s a high-impact transformation assignment where you’ll be expected to provide senior technical leadership, influence major decisions and help shape the technology landscape through a significant M&A event.
