He also worked for Deutsche Bank until his election to Parliament in 2010. On 24 August 2018, he was elected Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party.
In February 2022, a Roy Morgan poll showed he was the front runner to be Morrison's potential replacement as leader of the Liberal Party among voters.[1] However, at the 2022 election, Frydenberg lost his seat to the teal independent candidate Monique Ryan.[2]
In July 2022, Frydenberg started working at Goldman Sachs as a senior advisor for the Asia Pacific region.[3] In September 2023, he became the chairman of Goldman Sachs’ operations in Australia and New Zealand.[4] Because of this new job, Frydenberg decided not to run for the Kooyong seat in 2025.[5]
In May 2024, Frydenberg looked at the rise of antisemitism in a Sky News Australia documentary called Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism.[6]
