I think there's also a brain gain effect that includes the spillivers on the ambition of siblings and friends of migrants besides remittances. I think we cant exclude the possible that for the top there exists brain drain in net, due to lacking data. I have heard of forthcoming research regarding brain gain, but here is one study:
Batista, Catia, Aitor Lacuesta, and Pedro C. Vicente. 2012. “Testing the ‘Brain Gain’ Hypothesis: Micro Evidence from Cape Verde.” Journal of Development Economics 97 (1): 32–45.

We have some irregular events catering to professionals, but the Intro Program and most of our event are frequented by both universities

Outside of clearly defined job postings, such as AI Office Contract Agents, most people might have other reasonable options. I consider applying to the Concourse, but don't you need to prepare longer for this?
