IMO the strange thing is that 300k for a programmer is less exceptional than 300k for a lawyer, but many programmers find 300k unbelievable

It looks like you'd need 4 years at a place like Cravath, Skadden, etc., to hit $300k/yr. It's hard to get precise numbers for tech, but...
I believe people have much better odds of getting or landing a $300k job at Google/FB/Amazon than surviving 4 years at Cravath/Skadden/etc

Yeah, MS pay is not competitive unless you get an offer match from a company that pays much better. But that still leaves G/FB/Amazon

Also consider that you can't stay in the 300k job at Cravath since it's up or out. But you can stay in the $250k-$500k job in tech.

A simpler calculation is the % of lawyers in high-end firms (tiny?) vs. the % of engineers at Google/FB/Amazon/etc. (small?)
