MSCS to Quant

New Student Question

Do top Quant firms like Jump, Citadel and Jane Street hire MSCS folks from UIUC even as a one-off case?

I did find a few SWEs at quant but no quant researcher or trader but then even if there are, they may be very few in number, hence asking here to calibrate my expectations of I join UIUC MSCS.
