GPA Post Recruiting

Landed my IB SA 26 role (BB/EB) this spring and just wanted to get some advice on school/GPA/how much it really matters. I go to a target school and am majoring in math and economics, my GPA is currently at a 3.66. Thinking about dropping one of those majors and trying to take some easy classes to get it up to a 3.8 by graduation (2 years from now) but not sure if the double major and high quant skills might look better. Will my exit opps be severely limited because of my GPA? Is it super important that I get it up - definitely can get it past a 3.7 but not sure about a 3.8. What should I do?
