Best MBA Majors for post MBA sell and buyside jobs

Hey monkeys,

I am wrapping up my MBA (Columbia/Wharton/Booth) this upcoming fall and I have signed an IBD return offer. I was wondering if any of you has any advice in terms of which MBA majors make he most sense in terms of IBD exit opportunities. I am shooting for a double major Finance + X and I am wondering if X = accounting or X = management would be the smartest move. Any insides? Do majors matter (would assume that they are good for signaling purposes)

Thanks!
