100% bonus at PGIM at the associate level is pretty rare. I've never seen one.

Usually top performers at the associate level get 50% and it scales down from there. 

100% bonus are typically for VP+.

 

Can confirm first year analysts are 85k base with discretionary bonus

 

Associate comp is $100-$115k base, 30% target bonus. Top performers get up to 50% of base but that's less than 5% of the pool gets that. 1st year analysts are at $85k base, 30% target bonus. 2nd year at $90-$92.5k with same bonus targets. Senior Analysts range between $95-105k, same bonus targets. Each title increase is a $5-10k increase in base. Pru total comp doesnt move much until the Senior Associate level and even then all is only $250-$300k.
