⚠️ SC Eligibility Required

Do you want to work on one of the biggest K8s projects in Europe - one running over 400 Pods (and 140k Nodes) at any one time?

Do you want to get AWS & CKA certified on company time whilst also using these tools day in day out in production environments?

I am partnered with one of the world’s top tech consultancies who are spearheading a multi-year DevOps transformation at a top Govt department.

The project aims to completely revolutionise the way the UK Government operates online and will create numerous public benefits including cutting waiting times, vastly improved CX and cost savings in the millions of pounds.

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.
