If you do end up getting 3-4 times within 10 years, that's probably because you're half-decent. But that means you probably would've been that successful in anything you did anyway. You probably could've been a real estate agent. Hell you can probably make 10x in 10 years time if you were riding a good boom.

But no generally I wouldn't go into law, let alone a surbuban law firm, expecting 4x rise in salary.
I don't get this.

I know an insurance lawyer who works in a small time partnership in Newcastle (in his 50s) earning enough to own a yacht worth a couple of million.

I also know a public prosecutor with a massive farm estate.

Surely the salaries in boutique firms can't be that shit.
