Calling it a quits on Canada for the US

Calling it a quits on Canada. Worked in IB and now planning to go do my MBA in the US. Before those comment about whether I plan to do IB with the MBA - motive is to leave Canada entirely. IB salaries are trash in Canada and at this rate corporate dev jobs would pay more than IB here.

Has anyone gone down this path? Looking to leave for good (for immigration, just temporarily and plan to go back home after my OPT expires).

For those who have left how have things changed?

Pretty sure most Canadian liberals would be disgusted by the thought of moving to the US
