Does a salesman selling cars get to keep the selling price of the car just because he sold the car??

You think you can bill 3-4x without the goodwill of the firm, the secretarial support, the firm’s clientele, etc?
The first para of your meaningless verbiage and I already can tell you don't appreciate the difference between a normal company and a professional services business, let alone the partnership model that most law firms are structured around.

Go pick up a book about business and do some reading to increase your knowledge. It might also help you serve your clients better - assuming you're not dealing with low value PI work.

Keep convincing yourself that you're content to remain a poor underpaid dog at your Chinatown firm. Your billings are helping your boomer partner change his Lexus every 4 years. Meanwhile, you'll be struggling to pay for your BTO flat.
