Microsoft or American Express for Summer Internship 2017?

I am wondering what are some pros and cons of taking an internship with Amex in NYC or Microsoft in Seattle (Redmond). I have offers from both and I am so stuck between the two. They are both corporate finance roles. Pay is similar, Microsoft has a few more benefits, but I really want this internship to lead into a full time offer. I want to be set up in a good place where I can have good exit opportunities. I also aspire to get my MBA.

 

Yeah the roles are pretty much identical! I really want to be in NYC but I was there last year and I was thinking that I could take advantage of the opportunity to have an internship and explore a new city to see if I like it. I am interested in both but I guess a tiny bit more interested in tech.
