Is it okay to get one letter of rec from a manager who left your firm? I have a great relationship with them and know they’ll write an amazing letter. Just not sure how adcom’s perceive if they are not currently managing me. FYI I will get the other letters of rec from current managers/bosses

I got one from a manager who left and got into 2 M7s. I don't think it matters at all as long as you clarify why you picked them.

Some schools directly prompt you ‘why not current supervisor’ when you indicate that the LOR isnt.
For other schools, you can mention it in additional information/other at the end of the app.
