Commonplace. Remember, though that in big firms, $ goes up 10% a year or more as you move up in seniority. A solid lawyer six years out could hit $350K, and the lowest level of equity partnership was worth $1.1MM. If you can stomach holding the brass ring for a few years (and the job never gets easier), you can jump ship, scale down, and live very well indeed. It is a dangerous strategy, however, if you get addicted to spend.
