After spending over seven years there, Hartig moved to Citibank in October of 2005. He spent almost 3 years at the banking giant, during which time he worked as a wealth management sales coach.
In 2008, Hartig moved to Postbank Vermogensberatung, a retail bank that was acquired by Deutsche Bank in May of 2018. In another sales-y role, Harting spent just under a year at the retail bank working as a relationship manager.
Midway through 2009, Hartig moved again. This time it was to a private bank based in Hamburg - Otto M. Schroder Bank. During another short spell at a firm, Harting worked as a trader for the private bank.
