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.

As a consultant within RCS, the associate will form part of the wider Risk Practices team, located in London. The consultant will be expected to form close relationships with client-facing colleagues across Lockton, acting as a risk partner to realise opportunities to support existing clients and new business.
The majority of the consultants’ time will be spent supporting UK projects, thus will require regular travel across the UK and Ireland. As Lockton continues to expand its international operations, there may be a need to support and respond to strategic risk consulting projects overseas and from the international businesses, which may require international travel from time to time.
