In the trading industry, DE Shaw and Five Rings are the two places that care about school prestige well into someone's career. All other firms don't give a crap about it once someone has some experience.

I went to a crap school in India and a mediocre US school for my grad work, still got interviews at trading firms as a new grad and an industry hire. Currently working at one right now, so I can say that I have seen it first-hand.
