Job Prospects for Finance/Computer Science double major?

Hi!

I'm going to be attending the Tepper School of Business next year at Carnegie Mellon. I have two paths that I'm considering as of now. One is to apply for the Computational Finance program my sophomore year (which accepts 5 people) or to major in finance and computer science. I know the Computational Finance program really just grooms kids for IB at top firms, but I was wondering what kind of job prospects a CS/Finance double major would afford me.

Thanks!
