They're relatively different tests in terms of content and strategy (if nothing else, a CAT vs. a non-CAT is way different). In your situation, where the jobs you want/are recruiting for require the SAT, I would only think about that right now. The GMAT is a five-year down the road thing, while the SAT is an immediate need. I think you should prioritize, crush the SAT, and get the job you want.
If and when you do that, then start thinking about the GMAT. Maybe in the summer months before you start your full-time job. I just don't see a point in wasting limited resources that should be spent studying for the test they ask for, networking, and prepping for interviews.
Take the GMAT and forget about the SATs. Explain (in a way that doesn't make you sound quite so lazy) about how you didn't "really" take the SATs in high school and that the GMAT is a good proxy for your intelligence. I used my GMAT for buyside recruiting before I applied to b-school and it definitely helped. I was never asked for SATs once I supplied my GMAT.

Couldn't you just say you didn't take the SAT? I didn't take it.
are you JOKING the SAT? not even a single bank has ever asked me about my SAT

just take the GMAT - you can use that score instead of a SAT if a potential recruiter happens to ask and in my experience it will trump the SAT.
Just say you didn't take it. I've been asked for my SAT in interviews (I did very well). You can ninja dodge this one...
Honestly, I haven't heard of ONE place that actually verifies SAT scores. Just saying...
I didn't do so bad, just concerned.
