Career Advice - Internship Opportunities

Hello Everyone,

I received an internship offer from WF Corporate Banking (Asset-based lending) in NYC and I have an interview with Microsoft next week for the Finance Internship Program in Seattle. I am nervous about getting an offer from Microsoft, and finding myself in a complicated position due to better benefits. Microsoft pays partially for housing, transportation, and a higher salary (6k vs. 4k per month), and WF is not. As you guys know, the cost of living in NYC is way higher than any other city in the U.S. As an intern, I will do my best to secure a full-time offer by the end of the summer. Once I graduate from college, I would like to work 2-3 years, and then go to law school. Afterwards, I would like to pursue a career as a corporate lawyer at a Big Law firm. Let me know what you guys think. I want to take the best decision and make sure it will help me to advance in my career in the future.
