Any calls from Australian schools like Monash, UTS at the FMA?
Australian Schools
-
Monash pays 110-120k AUD (base salary)+25-30% market loading, with 1-1 teaching load. However, the promotion to associate professor is so damn difficult. It means that you will likely stuck with this salary(100k USD) for the rest of your life.
You need all AER, Econometrica, QJE, JOE, JET, ReStat to get prof
-
How does Monash Finance compare with U of Melbourne, U of New South Welsh?
No, still UNSW and Melbourne are better,.
UNSW + Melbourne + ANU? Also Queensland?
I think ANU is good but not as much as UNSW (strong in corporate finance) and Melbourne (strong in asset pricing). UQ is good but worse than the other three that you just mentioned.

Yes, promotion in Australia Universities is difficult. It is not uncommon for senior academics to get outside offers first then get promoted. So, obtaining outside offer is always great. However, this takes another efforts.

Median house price in a good suburb in Melbourne and Sydney exceeds 1 million. That makes all these universities a bit unattractive. All these unis, umelb, unsw, usyd, monash, and uts, ask for same number of top publications as US school, so I wonder why would anyone take a job in these universities as all hires are massively under-paid relative to US schools.

Maybe people want to focus on research and couldn't get an offer from a R1/R2 school in the US.

R1? Here are a few R1 off the top of my head: LSU, Washington State, Ole Miss, .... Would any rational person choose Baton Rouge LA, Pullman WA, Oxford MS over Sydney or Melbourne?

That's not really cherry picked to be dreadful either. The majority of US R1 universities are in s**tholes.

Having lived in Sydney as well as small-town USA, I can say that there are positives to both. If you value being close to beaches, excellent weather, amazing food, a great arts scene, a diverse population, then you’ll probably prefer Sydney. It is very expensive though. A lot of that is for a reason, it is an amazing place to live. If you prefer a big house and yard then Sydney (and even other “comparable” cities like San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York) is not for you. A lot of people would be happy to sacrifice a big house to live in a really great city.
