For PA designation - no equivalent since there is a direct partner track once you reach the SA classification. There is a designation of Counsel but that is used for laterals who were PA/Junior Partners in other firms but do not meet the MP's partner requirements so they're hired as counsels and then later on become partners as and when they hit the relevant targets. Don't know what the current salary structure is like.
At least till when I was there, office timings and leave policies depend on the location of the office and partners.
