I'm assuming you're asking about the JD? An LLM isn't a qualifying law degree.
Don't bother. The post a few comments above yours already informs what are the salary ranges you can expect for the top 5 largest/highest tier local law firms, as a newly qualified lawyer. Not worth it.
I'd say your chances of landing a spot in the Big 5 law firm is around 40-50%? Fair chances. But these are good odds for undergrads that aren't saddled with financial and opportunity costs. Your position as a mid-career switcher is much different.
Just stay in your lane as a data analyst. Isn't that like hot commodity now? You'll be outearning many lawyers soon enough.
