assuming one doesn’t make partner after say 5-7 years at a biglaw firm, what are some realistic exit opportunities for such lawyers? what kind of salaries should these lawyers (e.g. in-house lawyers) expect, and consequently, how much of a pay cut will they have to take?

assuming one doesn’t want to practice in biglaw after several years or can’t make partner, should one still pursue a law degree? (i ask anticipating some people saying ibanking or other business jobs as a realistic exit opp… but then shouldn’t that person just have gotten an MBA instead?)
