Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific updated information on the Australian EB scene (e.g., culture, pay, deal flow for firms like MA, Luminis, Gresham, Greenhill) in the provided knowledge base.

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?

Can’t speak to pay, but can give some colour re overviews of the firms.

MA - good deal flow with a mid market focus, does some 1bn+ deals from time to time. Has RX which is quite niche in AU, unsurprisingly heard it was intense on that team.

RBC - very strong PUI team with marquee mandates rivalling top BBs.

Stanton - spons focused, strong sell side mandates with local sponsors, often co advising with a BB.

Gresham - seems debt advisory focused, but does get involved on some big ticket m&a mandates. They seem to be strong in the real assets space.

Azure - strong in infra, advising on some notable buyside and sell sides last year (often co advising).

GH - Imo they r quite similar to Stanton.

Jefs - historically very strong in spons, still think they r strong but I’ve subjectively observed less mentions on the AFR post mayne pharma.

Luminis - it’s been radio silence for me on them.

Can’t speak to the firms’ cultures, but I doubt u can expect light hours from any of them.
