Erik De Lorenzi, a recent law school graduate, opted out of a corporate law job in Manhattan, citing discomfort with U.S. politics and taxes. In his LinkedIn post, he emphasized pride in staying in Canada to support local businesses. His decision reflects a growing trend among Canadian graduates reconsidering opportunities abroad in light of national pride and socio-political factors. The supportive response from peers indicates a potential move towards a reverse-brain-drain, addressing concerns over talent leaving Canada for the U.S.
"I am proud to have torn up my offer and with it, my plans to start my legal career as a corporate lawyer in Manhattan..."
"It is good to see your example as the possible start of a reverse-brain-drain trend among law students. Canada (and Davies) are better for it."
