wow that's the same as baker's pay.

LOL. Good banter.

Unfortunately, I cannot encourage jokes that incite racism.

do firms provide health insurance after retention?

Generally speaking yes, but some firms do not provide full hospitalisation or long-term illness coverage. It really depends on their provider. Some firms also dictate that you can only go to one particular clinic. It depends on the firm.

Additionally, most bigger firms provide a gym allowance (or co-payment up to $xxx) + dental/glasses up to a token sum of like $200/$100.

However, in terms of practice necessities, they will always pay for your malpractice insurance and your practicing certificate fees etc.
