The former US House majority leader, Republican representative Eric Cantor, is going to work on Wall Street, his new employer said Tuesday.
Cantor, 51, will be vice chairman and managing director at Moelis & Company, a small investment bank. He will also be elected to its board of directors, the bank said in a statement.
Cantor, an establishment heavyweight, shocked the US political world back in June when he lost to an even more conservative but virtually unknown Tea Party-backed challenger in a primary election in the state of Virginia.
He announced last month he would resign from his seat.
After a political career spanning 25 years, Cantor had become the second most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives.

Moelis is a small investment bank with about 500 employees and a market capitalization of $550 million.
