Depends on several factors...location of the firm, the experience and value proposition offered by the firm, how you've structured your holdings, and how efficient and effective the working relationship is (i.e. how much you "help the firm help you").Might be worth it to reach out to several firms after the deadline for an introductory call and learn about each one and what they offer.
