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

This role is positioned at Senior Associate level and is suited to an experienced security professional with solid technical knowledge of at least one major public-cloud platform, ideally Microsoft Azure, and the ability to apply assurance principles consistently across Azure, AWS, SaaS, and other cloud-hosted services.
You will combine architectural understanding with an assurance-led mindset, independently reviewing control design and effectiveness, validating security findings, and helping platform and engineering teams make proportionate, risk-based remediation decisions. The position will remain independent from the ownership and implementation of the controls it assesses.
