From 2004 to 2005, he worked as a conference director for the international strategic consulting firm of William Cohen, former US Secretary of Defense.
He then worked as a consultant at McKinsey and Company, a management strategy consulting firm, from 2007 to 2010. He was a candidate from the Democratic Party in 2010 for the State Treasurer of Indiana.
Buttigieg also served in the military for a few years, after being commissioned in 2009 as a Naval Intelligence Officer in the Naval Reserves. He was deployed in Afghanistan in 2013 for seven months, after which he returned to South Bend.
He was elected Mayor of South Bend on 8th November 2011. He assumed office the following year on 1st January, becoming the youngest Mayor of any US city with at least 100,000 residents.
He is known for making redevelopment a top priority during his administration.

Controversies & Scandals
Buttigieg first kindled a controversy after he demoted Darryl Boykins, the first African American police chief of South Bend, along with police communications director Karen DePaepe, as they were found to be involved in a case of tapped telephone conversations between four white police officers which supposedly contained racist content.
In 2016, his handling of a civil rights case gained national attention. The case involved three police officers of South Bend assaulting an African American teen for a crime the latter did not commit. Though Buttigieg’s administration offered the boy’s family an amount of $15,000 for settlement, the family rejected the offer. The case went to trial, where the officers were found guilty by the jury.
His ‘Smart Streets project’ also gained controversy after the death of a young 11-year-old boy named Tristan Moore in an accident; he had been hit by a car while going to school. Buttigieg, however, denied that the project had anything to do with the accident.
