Does it really matter which firm I train at ?

I am doing a training contract at a very small firm. I get lots of experience and responsibility but it is realistically not a well-known firm at all, and it only has 10 lawyers, so the pay is bad (and I guess the reputation factor is also missing)

Realistically, how bad are my prospects of moving to a bigger firm upon qualification ? I know that firms prioritise internal NQs and then probably trainees from magic circles etc, but is there a chance to move up?
