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 a proper hands-on infrastructure role, not DevOps, with the opportunity to take real ownership of some significant infrastructure projects.
👀 What we’re looking for:
- Strong hands-on enterprise storage & backup experience
- Good understanding of servers, storage, networking and infrastructure
- Experience with technologies such as IBM Storage, Fibre Channel, Rubrik, NetWorker or Commvault
- Comfortable working across traditional on-prem / Data Centre environments
- Some Windows Server / Active Directory exposure
- Linux experience would be highly beneficial, but isn’t essential
- Someone comfortable taking ownership and working independently
- Hands-on Data Centre experience such as racking, stacking and cabling would be a bonus
