This is because most skills such as CRM specific exp are taught when you’re on the job.

This is also why the earlier you quit the better. At the entry level position, hirers aren’t extremely particular if you don’t have the specific CRM skills. The pay for entry level BD is about 3.5-5k depending on the organization. Most people become executives in a few years and they can easily hit the 7-9k region. So if you want to earn about the same kind of salary as your law peers once you hit 30, quit law now and start early so you have plenty of time climb up to the executive positions and learn from the role.
