Gotta be put into context - depends how many of those slides are “off the shelf”. I.e. pre-made materials that are continually re-used. Can have massive decks where not much new work was done.
When I was at an EB, they were often 75-100 pages, 1/4-1/2 of which were stock (firm, coverage team, tombstone, case studies, etc.).
Moved to a MM, they're probably more like 40-75 on average with ~1/4-1/3 stock.
