Big 4 Tax & Audit or FP&A?

I’m currently a freshman at a non-target school hoping to break into IB in NYC, I managed to get 2 private equity internships at small firms for fall and winter semester and recent got two offers. One for a big 4 tax & audit and another for a FP&A role. I’m struggling to decide between the two offers especially since the big 4 internship pays more. Any help would be appreciated!
