Is it possible to move from quant firm/HFT back to tech?

About to accept an offer with a NY based quant firm (think JS/HRT/TS, etc).
I think having Microsoft on my resume has certainly helped open a lot of doors.
Will it be possible to jump back to big tech if I have one of JS/HRT/TS on my resume and am working there? Do tech recruiters recognize these firms?
Just want to ensure I’m not getting into a resume graveyard by accepting this.
TC/YOE: 200/3

Finance has a generally poor reputation in SV and using your skills to play the markets instead of be a part of a team building technology product is just kinda side eye situation.
Recruiters and hiring managers will not understand your work and you will have trouble selling your projects.
How is working for Google or Facebook any better??
