depends how many other courses you have taken already, a joint major isn’t significantly more than a normal major, a double major is. Financial firms definitely prefer econ-math and econ-or to econ-polisci, there are few majors (if any) they prefer over econ-math, econ-or. Econ-phil, econ-polisci are both decent majors because they include econ, and banks will hire you if you have a good record all round, but it’s definitely more impressive to have econ-math / econ-or. econ-phil / econ-polisci will (generally) keep you out of more quantitative roles that you might still be able to do without quant degree, like quantitative investing, or derivative market making.
