Reputation of Max Planck Society vs. Ivy League PhD

Hi all, I am currently working on my PhD in theoretical physics at a Max Planck Institute in Germany with a focus on mathematical modelling using machine learning. Meanwhile I have got interested in the finance sector given that also there you can do a lot of maths stuff and now I wonder if I have chances to get a job as a quant in investment banking or in a hedge fund with an education at a German technical university and a PhD from a Max Planck Institute.

I have the impression that the Max Planck Society isn't as present in people's minds as for example Ivy League or Oxbridge universities are although being on par from a scientific point of view:

2nd place in Nature index behind Harvard (2017, Nature and Science publications) and 2nd place in Nature index behind Harvard in Times higher education ranking (2009, the-titans-institutional-rankings-by-output-and-citations)

What is your opinion?
