PE Analyst Bonus

Unlike in banks where it is common for analysts to exit, PE analysts are often kept for promotion to associate. The firms may ask the analyst if they would like to stay around. If they say no, I imagine they would lose the bonus. If they say yes, to receive a huge portion of their compensation, and then leave, will they burn their bridges / refs at the firm? Trying to understand how to manage this

Aren't you usually quoted a bonus for PE analyst programs for the all-in?
