Lawyer regretting not having gone into IB - am I wrong?

Could've done both. And would've done well in both. But feel like IB pays way more than lawyers. Yes am aware that both industries have a wide salary range but I'm talking about those top-tier salaries (but not those gross outliers). I am at a top tier law firm so I know what lawyers get paid. I've been practicing 5 years. So with law school that's like 8 years. But I hear IB/PE associates supposedly getting paid way more than me (at like 4 years out of UG....). Realistically how much do senior VPs or junior EDs typically get paid all-in in IB/PE?
