Will a 4 Year Joint BS/MS Degree in Finance Hurt Chances For MBA Applications

So I go to an east coast non-target school and will be working in investment banking after I graduate. I am currently enrolled in a degree program where I complete my master's in finance alongside my bachelor's in finance by finishing my undergraduate degree in 3.5 years and staying one semester taking all graduate classes. As someone who is interested in the IB -> PE -> MBA path, will having an MS hurt my chances as it may be questionable on why I want to get another advanced degree? Thanks for the help!
