Accept Offer Or Keep Looking?

Hey Everyone,

I'm a sophomore at a non-target who just received a summer internship offer at an asset management firm in SoCal (~25B AUM). However, the pay is fairly low considering I would be relocating to the area.

Prior to receiving this offer, I was interviewing for a PE firm, IC firm, and RE Consulting firm. (All of whom were either close to my home or paid substantially better)

My question - Given the Coronavirus uncertainty, would it be best for me to accept the first offer or continue recruiting? Thanks!

In general, you shouldn't be concerned about the pay package as a sophomore unless it's not even enough to cover rent--I assume such a fund would pay enough to get by. And almost everyone "relocates" during the summer.
