Life at business schools in so many countries seems miserable, if the threads about Australia, France, and the UK are representative.

Sydney University Finance toxic and corrupt

Then do not go to Sydney
Go to UQ - the open position. With HRM and RR top 3 perhaps you have a chance to get Senior Lecturer Level C
The full-time equivalent base salary will be in the range AUD$124,378 - $143,415 per annum plus super of up to 17%. The total FTE package will be in the range AUD$145,523 - $167,796 per annum.
An additional market loading may be negotiable for exceptional and eligible candidates, subject to senior executive approval.

Who at UQ, among existing faculty, has top 3 finance journal publications?
It never ceases to amaze me how, at job interviews, candidates are told things like "must have top 3 finance journals pubs" and then you go to the websites of the people conducting these interviews and see:
No top 3's, no JFQA, no MS, no nothing.
Maybe the existing faculty have a couple of papers in the Australian Journal of Management and then they are conducting these interviews as if Gene Fama and Lars Hansen might not be good enough. -
Agreed. My time there was really great.

I would definitely recommend Australia. It is a fine country. Sometimes I miss it.

Otherwise, they will not pay for something that the existing faculty can do.

Otherwise, they will not pay for something that the existing faculty can do.How does it work at UQ? If someone is existing faculty at UQ but they get no top 3's, no JFQA, no MS over a period of, say, 10 years, can they be fired for poor performance? How does it work? I can see that their salary won't go up or they might be told that their teaching loads are going up, but do they lose their jobs? If UQ thinks it can hire people with top 3's when existing faculty have none, what stops UQ firing half their faculty and just getting new people in?

Firing faculty is difficult especially for permanent position.
I know that a number of faculties in Macquarie Tasmania Adelaide even being promoted without top 3.
As long as you publish in A ranked journals on ABDC list are fine.Not true at G5/G8 universities. The standard is more like 3A* on that list ... to get a quasi-permanent position and more to get promoted.

As long as you publish in A ranked journals on ABDC list are fine.And yet people are being fired at lots of Australian universities, including USyd, Monash and UTS. At the other end of the spectrum, KW at UTS
has no top 3's, no JFQA, no MS, not even one JBF or ROF or JCF or JIMF or JEDC or JMCB or IFR. Nothing in even a recognized international journal.
She has only a handful of papers in regional journals such as Accounting and Finance, Pacific-Basin Finance Journal, and Australian Journal of Management.
Yet, she is a full professor?https://profiles.uts.edu.au/Kathleen.Walsh
How does hiring and promotion work in Australia? Australian universities demand juniors have top 3's but seniors publish nothing in their entire career? How important is external funding for promotion? If you get funding in an amount similar to your salary, do universities promote you as you are now (net) cost-free?

For example, ARC grants are 3 years so they have a short time-span so after 3 years, then what?
External funding is useful but a lot of people in Australian universities never get it. -
Are there any finance Depts that are not toxic and corrupt?
Actually Melbourne and UNSW are not too bad of what I know
Yes check UNSW faculty profiles, almost all A/Profs and most Profs have top 3 + MS/JFQA/ROF. This is a place that looks for quality candidates, AND has quality faculty (at least by Australian standards)
