Roughly what percentage of law graduates eventually gets called to the bar and have a successful career as a full lawyer and command those high salary. Not a lawyer myself but really curious regarding this.

Firms that will make you "earn" Cravath - Sidley Austin, Dechert, Latham & Watkins, White & Case, Jones Day, Gibson Dunn, Skadden.
Intel could be wrong so YMMV.
IMHO Cravath is not sustainable if you're only looking at the Singapore market. Cravath payscale = Cravath billing rates. SEA market is nowhere as mature as the US / UK markets, so not many Singapore-only clients (or even some regional clients) can afford or want to pay Cravath rates especially if they don't need US-law expertise or not targetting the US market.

Dual qualification
When lawyers say they're dual qualified, does that mean they're simply admitted to the roll of solicitors in the other jurisdiction (e.g. E&W, NY, Australia) or that they have a practising certificate for that other jurisdiction.
For Singaporean lawyers working at international firms that require dual qualification, are they required to maintain that other jurisdiction's practising cert? Or can they just practice (transactions, e.g. m&a) as a Singapore qualified lawyer, but simply be admitted to e.g. E&W (i.e. no need to maintain practising cert from E&W)?

lmao what full lawyer. Lawyer is lawyer
Practising lawyer salary scale quite standard one la.
Ex-practising lawyers like in-house legal counsel, insurance brokerage or P&I club, IP portfolio managers etc. are doing perfectly fine. Chao chao at least $15K or more per month with slack 9 to 5 hours. Ofc if they stayed practising law they will definitely earn more. But many lawyers especially women go in-house after they have kids because of good WLB. Is that considered high? It's all relative lor. Depends on what you want in life.
