I am currently an attorney in a making $750k a year. I would like to make over $1 million a year but do not see a clear path to do so. Considering leaving law and going into saas. I have 10 years of sales experience prior to going into law. Is there a realistic path to 7 figures in saas?

Speaking as someone in SaaS sales, and with over 20 years in B2B sales, I'll tell you this- if you're making $750K as an attorney, you are better off staying there.

If you’re making $750k as an attorney and can’t figure out how to maximize that into a mil….. I don’t actually believe you make $750k /yr

But if it were me, I’d make your money work for you. Split 250k into Microsoft Apple nvidia google meta
Set it and forget it until retirement

Also look into blackrock ETF’s if your a little more risk tolerant to the short term swings

At that point though my answer remains the same. Investment income through real estate, stocks, hedge fund, etc. I don’t have any familiarity with being an attorney, but I assume saying try to get more attorney work on the side or something, is not what you’re looking for

Maybe if you join a start up and all your vested equity hits in one year for IPO.

Absolutely yes, but the people making these numbers are at the very top, in leadership roles, likely in the C-Suite or VP position. Or they are very few, unique, truly talented enterprise reps at large global companies.

This is a joke. Right? It has to be.

Dude is trolling, for sure

This is actually funny. As an attorney who has been in the largest firms and familiar with small firms, as well as in sales for 15 years.... I only switched over to accommodate family needs. If you're" an attorney making $750k you are at the top of your game and wouldn't want to leave. The average lawyer makes $250 max with a starting salary of $140-$175 based on their experience . Go invest, you have the resources to pay a good advisor and certainly a network to recommend one! Either path takes many years to establish yourself, build credibility with the customer or client base. I have seen those numbers quite often on the Saas side but it's only the top 10% and people who got the right set of accounts or the right start up ( as others mentioned)

Unlikely, you would possibly have to invest, run a business, etc...

Regardless of what anyone says. Wether you want to be a millionar, billionar, or trillionar. It would be risky either way. I do strongly recommend to do your research before doing so.
