Would graduate recruiters at top firms prefer a masters in engineering or finance?

I am currently studying an MEng Civil Engineering course at a Imperial College London and was wondering whether I should pursue my MEng in Engineering or just complete my BEng and instead take an MSc in Finance. 

What do you think recruiters would prefer? 

Yours sincerely,

Chimp
