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.

Spend your summer solving genuine commercial problems
This isn’t an internship built around shadowing or administration. You’ll join a core Strategy team and take ownership of a genuine business project from the beginning.
You’ll use data, analytical thinking, and commercial judgement to investigate a problem, develop recommendations, and present your findings to the business. You could be involved in:
- Analysing customer and commercial data
- Identifying ways to improve products and services
- Exploring how to attract and engage new customers
- Supporting responsible commercial and risk decisions
- Developing customer, marketing, or fraud-prevention strategies
- Learning how analytical and coding tools are used within financial services
- Presenting your final recommendations to colleagues and stakeholders

What we’re looking for

- Strong numerical and analytical thinking
- Curiosity and an interest in solving complex problems
- The confidence to form and communicate recommendations
- Good written and verbal communication
- Sound judgement and attention to detail
- A collaborative approach and willingness to learn
Applications are welcomed from everyone. Women and candidates from groups underrepresented within strategy and financial services are particularly encouraged to apply.
