at my MM PE shop, we werent really "ranked" since there were only 3-4 of us at a given time, but we were given different bonuses depending on reviews, performance and politics.

but no, most PE shops dont have a guaranteed comp structure - it is salary plus discretionary bonus, which for associates can be as low as 20% of salary to 200+% of salary...
