He/she wasn't talking about wealth leh. Its a fact that in law, if you start out in a "good" firm, you will have an easier time attaining a higher trajectory than if you start out in a "lousy" or small firm. In Singapore, big 4 is about as good as it gets for young lawyers to start their careers, apart from the internationals.
I don't disagree with you - i've some law school friends working in small firms on profit sharing basis and they're doing very comfortably. better than some big firm junior partners tbh
