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.

The structure of their team means that the successful hire would have hands on exposure to clients, be a vital part to the advice process and have their input recognised. Having continued client contact means that communication/interpersonal skills are key, along with fitting in with their warm and dynamic office culture. For a more senior/experienced appointment, there would be the opportunity to train, mentor, coach and support colleagues and have input to the companies' direction of travel as a part of the management team.

Whilst they can be flexible on exams (and support studies) particularly for a developmental hire, there is a preference for diploma qualified or close to obtaining but a senior must have level 4. A minimum 2 years experience is needed in financial planning/wealth management – either provider, IFA or investment manager etc – providing support to financial advisers carrying out technical support. However they could also consider an individual in a senior IFA administrative role with exam progress to develop – the drive, enthusiasm and eagerness to develop would be key if hiring at that level. Strong software, IT skills, back office experience is a must, with a keen eye for detail and carrying out work inline with FCA legislation/regulations.
