Practices usually cater to long work hours compared to industry here.

3 - What shall be the minimum pay in USD at any of these offices?
Well for a a newly qualified ACA I'd put the tag at USD 1,600-2,000 for some one with three years PQE USD 2,500-3,500 (the higher side only in industry).

What are the components of this figure usually? I mean that say USD 2500 pm; is it inclusive of medical coverage, bonus, leaves, air tickets etc or are you talking about basic plus allowances only.

Secondly, i believe that there are no personal direct taxes in all 4 places asked in my above post. Please correct me if i am wrong.
