He might be pulling the same move as the ex Dutch MP Mark Rutte.

Rutte let the Dutch cabinet fall on a lie last year. Seemingly for no reason. Turns out he had a job lined up as head of NATO which he just got last week. So all his excuses about not being able to work out the differences between parties was likely a lie.

Maybe we will also see Macron get a nice cushy job somewhere in top politics soon.
