I don't know what the grunts are fighting about. You reached the top of the pyramid in 3 to 5 years in the past.
Nowadays there are too many grunts and too little pie, which triggers the grunts to divide themselves according to "school rankings" - dubiously biased and irrelevant since lawyering is a practice and not an essay competition - on an anonymous forum. Correlation not causation. Plenty of academically bright students struggle with practice, and plenty of non-academic students succeed.
There is a sense of dissatisfaction and entitlement, but if you go further, entitlement to what? What do you feel entitled to coming from a good school and good grades? 0.01% of the existing pie? Entitled to being a star grunt?
As a service industry, all the clients worth having are already on someone else's books. No point being acadenically strong without clients. You will only ever be a grunt.
If you're a doctor, the clients are the same. Lasik on a middle class person costs the same as lasik on an upper middle class person.

Just to highlight late adopter tax - Bitcoin mining. It's all about being at the right place and at the right time. If you bought Bitcoin at the right time, you will not have to work for the rest of your life. The people buying mining rigs now have less of the pie than ever before. This is because the number of Bitcoins are finite. C'est la vie.
Before you backstab your fellow grunts, indulge in self-promotion or fight amongst yourselves, think. What are you fighting for? Is the pie even worth having now? What are the odds that you will be able to even get a small slice?
