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.

You’ll also bring a broad understanding of modern data platforms, cloud technologies, and AI-enabled business transformation, and be able to explain how these capabilities create value in an industry context.
- You’ll work with clients to understand and frame their business problems, assess their current state, and identify, shape, and deliver data, analytics, and AI use cases from strategy through implementation.
