What is considered "good/strong deal flow"?

Saw this a bunch across WSO where people say they lateraled because of weak deal flow or switched internships due to deal flow. What constitutes strong/weak deal flow? Is it # of deals closed per year or # of deals currently being worked on?

It’s number of deals and size of deals. Look at league tables and the company’s announced transactions for reference.
