Is the "brain drain" effecting those who can punch numbers and pass tests in school but couldn't pass an interview at mcdicks?

I can actually say the opposite for my age group (mid-late 20s). As someone about 4 years removed from university, almost half the people I still associate with from university (business faculty) have left Vancouver. And FYI, these are not people who came here from HK or China for school. These are people BORN in Canada with no ties to HK/China.
Pretty much the exact same story for each of them:
Get a decent job at a big name company but be severely underpaid compared to other regions
Realize after 2 years that you have no chance at decent career progression because you're working at a shitty satellite office that has no say in anything the company does
Get a job offer in Toronto or US and make 50+% more than you could make in Vancouver
