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.

The Managing Director is seeking a brand new experienced Senior Paraplanner. The business operates in a pod structure and one of the senior advisers is looking for Senior Career Paraplanner to work in his pod. Full training will be provided on their processes and systems but a broad range of experience and knowledge across Pensions, Investments, IHT, Trusts, cashflow modelling, etc will be essential. Knowledge of Intelligent Office CRM would be highly advantageous.
The role will be office based but there may be the prospect to WFH a bit once you're established in the business. The level 4 diploma will be essential, if you are sitting any exams towards their Chartered status then the Directors will support you with your studies but what qualifications you have is not a deal breaker, experience rather than exams is more important. The management team place a lot of emphasis on staff wellbeing and team rapport and regularly enjoy company socials and trips away as well as supporting.
