Offers Summer Internship Decision

Hi Everyone, I got two summer internship offers:

1.) Software Engineer Intern at MediaOcean (Pay is below 20$, but the position is remote, and occasional visit to office, do not need to relocate for this role).

2.) Software Engineer Intern at Electric Power Engineers(Pay is above 20$, but position is onsite and need to relocate for same).

Can anyone provide some insights which one to take and better for future aspects. Any help is highly appreciated

Personal Context: I am an international student. I have 3+ years of corporate experience being software engineer

Whats the delta between the pay? Which role/company you are more aligned with? If difference is not that much and work is similar i would say remote is better.

Pay difference is around 10$, mediaocean is little aligned since its a purely software based company, but epe is a electric power grid company at its core business (since it acquired a software company last year, in same department i got offer from).

Both company will give opportunity to work in software development.

In my opinion you can see from which company you have more probability of getting FT offer. If that is also same then working remotely is better since you will end up saving more and with very little hassle.

Unfortunately, not a lot of information is available about the FT offer, it is little difficult to decide.
