Moving to a hedgefund - Brand of previous firm?

Moving to a hedgefund, does the brand of the previous firm matter?
If I am doing prop-trading in a commercial bank with commodities operation (the bank itself is a 3rd to 2nd tier non-US bank)...
will I be able to move to a good hedgefund such as SAC, DEShaw, Citadel?
Thanks!
