"Global strategist for California-based Thiel Capital" is probably an upward move from many perspectives.

  Soon filling the pipeline with good strategic Russian deals.

  The only perspective from which that seems like an upward move is financially. Going from being an elected head of state to basically becoming a revolving door lobbyist for some company I think looks mostly embarrassing in particular to his fellow Austrian citizens, in particular given his conservative nationalist positions.

    I have to imagine there are many parts of being an elected head of state that aren't rewarding, and I don't mean financially.

    Well if politics is not gonna welcome him back, he has to work with the hand he is dealt with. One thing with politicians is that they are not easily embarrassed. If some other people are embarrassed then it is their problem.
