Pod Analyst Comp Upon Bleh Situations

Curious whether anyone has color around comp in these (sadly not infrequent) situations in the big4:

  1. Good year, PM leaves middle of year, analysts get snapped up by other pods.
  2. Bad year, PM leaves middle of year, analysts get snapped up by other pods.
  3. PM leaves, no snap up, analysts gets another job at different shop (is there leverage to negotiate a bonus?).
  4. PM blows up but analyst has decent track, gets snapped up by other pod.
