They're both trimodal if anything.
- People make the most in Big 4 law/tech firms, as well as a handful of boutique firms.
- Most people work elsewhere, making a respectable living but nothing extraordinary like the baove.
- Last but not least, there are folks working as IT/paralegal, who did not manage to break into developer/lawyer.
This last one is very brutal for law careers, if you did not manage to qualify or pass the bar the year you were supposed to, you've lost your chance for life, whereas in technology a formal engineering degree is not a hard requirement.
