If you are looking for IB job, Columbia is better. I do not know if IBs have their eyes on Swarthmore graduates but surely they do for Columbia. Most of the undergrad hires in IB are through their summer analyst program in penultimate year. Competition is high as you will face applicants from all sort of majors.

However, you may want to consider MFE to boost your chance as your competitors may be from MFE or even PhD judging from your intended majors.

There is no difference between GS, CC or SEAS in terms of IB hiring. Just get high GPA to prove that you are as competitive as Columbia students as a transfer student.
