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.

Eligible firms: McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Monitor Deloitte (Deloitte S&C), EY-Parthenon, Kearney, and Strategy& (PwC).
Who We're Looking For
Consultants with 3+ years of experience at one of the firms listed above, with hands-on project experience in:
- Structuring ambiguous client problems into workable analytical plans
- Building financial models, market analyses, or synthesized findings from messy inputs
- Producing client-ready deliverables under time pressure
- Forming and defending recommendations under uncertainty
No deep technical background is required — we will onboard you on the lightweight tools involved.
What You'll Do
- Build realistic consulting project environments — create detailed project scenarios grounded in real engagement dynamics: industry context, financials, constraints, conflicting inputs, and incomplete information
- Design structured consulting tasks for AI agents — break projects into discrete tasks that mirror real consulting work: market sizing, commercial due diligence, cost optimization, growth strategy, operational diagnosis, benchmarking, and more
- Define evaluation criteria and quality standards — develop grading frameworks, evaluation rubrics, and golden-answer solutions for each task, used to train and calibrate an LLM-based grading system that evaluates AI outputs at scale
