Mr. Thompson, who also ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2009, finished second in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary, with about 26 percent of the vote. The first-place finisher, Bill de Blasio, won just over 40 percent of the vote in the primary, and then won the general election on Nov. 5.
None of the other major candidates for mayor have disclosed their future plans. Two of the other Democratic candidates, Christine C. Quinn, the speaker of the City Council, and John C. Liu, the current city comptroller, remain in office through the end of the year. Joseph J. Lhota, a Republican who was crushed by Mr. de Blasio in the general election, has not said what he plans to do next.
Mr. Thompson is returning to his positions as chief administrative officer and senior managing director at Siebert Brandford Shank & Company L.L.C., which has been the nation’s biggest minority- and women-owned municipal bond underwriter for more than a decade. He reported making $ 727,000 in income last year, when he was still employed by the bond firm.
