Depends from which firm tbh. I have a friend who got hired by ex-MBB partner and the guy runs his team into the ground. Anecdotal, but I would definitely think twice after hearing my friend's experience

In my anecdotal experience, if they're ex-consulting (especially MBB) with a team of ex-consultants, that's a hard pass. 50/50 if their team isn't ex-consultants, but in general I have a pretty strong preference for industry HMs who don't come from a MBB/T2/THE background.

It wouldn't make a difference at all to me, them being an ex-consultant alone doesn't tell me a whole lot

Is HM hiring Manager? I don't see why that matters.
