This happens at literally every college town. People move there for school and then move away for their first job. If there were more job opportunities for recent grads, they would stay. This isn't specific to Yale or the students who go there.
I met my wife at Yale in grad school. We loved and still love New Haven. Our programs took us to NYC for our final year of training, and we took our first jobs there because that's where the job opportunities were. A few years later, when we had more options, we quit those jobs to move back to CT because we love it here. No all transients are transient because they want to be...many are simply following opportunities.

No. I’m a Yalie and while the main problem isn’t students moving out, the sheer sense of entitlement is annoying and definitely needs to get called out.
“Why do New Havenites hate us?” Most don’t but they also aren’t going to cater to your bullshit and give you special treatment just because you go to Yale. At the end of the day, we’re all just people living in the same city. Just because you live in the proximity as these people doesn’t mean you’re part of the community you constantly shit on on the Yale-only social media.
Don’t get me wrong. I love this university but the rich kid main character syndrome gets tiring fast.
