Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I te tau 2004 ka noho a Patterson hei kaitautoko mo Goldman Sachs, me te tūranga o te Tumuaki Tuarua (2004-2007), me te Kaiwhakahaere Whakahaere (2007-2008). I wehe a Patterson i a Goldman Sachs i te Paenga-whawha o te tau 2008, i muri mai ka mahi ia hei kaitohutohu mo te kaupapa perehitini a Obama-Biden
, me te Kaihautū Whakaaetanga o te Senate mo te Kaupapa Whakawhiti Perehitini Obama-Biden. I te whakapumautanga o Barack Obama hei Perehitini, i tohua a Patterson i te Hui-tanguru 2009 hei Tumuaki o te Kaimahi ki te Hekeretari o te Treasury. I te tau 2013, i kii te Hekeretari o te Taonga Taonga hou a Jack Lew i te whakakapinga o Patterson hei rangatira o nga kaimahi o te Taonga. I mahi a Patterson hei hoa i te tari o Perkins Coie i Washington, DC i mua i tana urunga atu ki te roopu a Senator Schumer i te Mei 2018.
