3+2 with columbia seas vs. 4 years at barnard

hi, i am currently set on doing an economics-mathematics joint major (comp sci minor) at barnard college (which is like a target?). however, i have the opportunity to do a 3+2 program with seas where you receive a b.s. in addition to the b.a. from barnard. if i do this, i won't be able to do the joint major anymore due to an impossible credit load and would have to settle either on economics or mathematics. i am pretty conflicted on whether or not to do the 3+2, considering that barnard does have access to on-campus recruiting at columbia either way. however, having a degree from seas in applied math or financial engineering could be beneficial for my career. i genuinely don't know what to decide on, so any advice would be helpful! i intend to go into IB but also considering fintech.
