I don't really know enough about how lawyer partnerships work as a legal entity, to be able to definitely say 1 way or the other.
Would a large Boston firm with multiple partners, that was financially successful, pay a partner in a firm $1 million a year? Yes, easily; but is the partnership just "how lawyers do things" or "entrepreneurship"? I can't say.
"According to the Boston sources whom we interview, a competent divorce litigator in Boston earns a minimum of $1 million per year. Is that sufficient compensation for a loss of illusions regarding human nature? Only you can decide!"

- argonaut 11y agoIMO partners are closer to "legal management." So at that point the engineering equivalent would be "engineering management." Directors and VPs of engineering firms probably earn in the range of $1 million. Some very very senior engineers at FB/Microsoft/Google probably earn that much as well (principal engineer-level)
