GPA as an undergraduate vs graduate student

Hi, I was wondering to what extent my undergraduate grades (GPA: 2.9- 3.0) matter if I have strong grades in my graduate degree. Specifically, I completed my undergraduate degree at a top 50 QS university (in Germany, so non-target in US / UK) and am about to finish my graduate degree at Georgetown, with grades somewhere in the range of 3.6–3.8. Will MBB or IB firms care about what happened at the undergraduate level, or not really? Thanks :)
