If your goal is to get filthy rich the best pivot from biglaw is to not be a lawyer anymore. Very few JD-required roles that will put you on the path to 100 million net worth.

Re: Best Pivot From BigLaw to GET FILTHY RICH?
I know a couple of plaintiff's lawyers who are pretty damn dumb compared to most lawyers and they both make like 4th year biglaw associate money and probably work 500 real billable hours a year. The amount of money some of these lawyers make by literally just filing a complaint and then settling a case is absurd.

Pull a Peter Thiel or an Andrew Yang. Or, marry rich. But really if you're after the real money, tech startup is the best way to make significant multiples.

There are a fair few biglaw associates who have more money than Andrew Yang, his net worth is only about $1-2 million.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 6:24 pmPull a Peter Thiel or an Andrew Yang.

IIRC, Yang's net worth did get into the tens of millions at one point before VFA/his other projects failed. Still, point taken, not the best example. Scott Kupor of a16z might be more on-point (though went through the VC fund part of the ecosystem).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 8:16 pmThere are a fair few biglaw associates who have more money than Andrew Yang, his net worth is only about $1-2 million.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 6:24 pmPull a Peter Thiel or an Andrew Yang.
