Post Body

I am currently doing masters in computer science at a top 5 university in the US, and have prior full time experience at a fortune 500 company back in my country. I started my internship hunt pretty late and unfortunately was waitlisted and later rejected for two FAANG internships. The only offer I have is from this company. However, originally the recruiter mentioned it would be $25/hr, but after they rolled me an offer, they told me it would be $17/hr. IT support roles at my university itself pay around $21/hr and are pretty easy to get selected for. I told my family that I should rather take up the IT support role at university as opposed to the internship but they argued SDE internship in my resume would look good rather than Tech support. Also, my family is against me asking for a better compensation as it might may look I am greedy for money. What do you all think I should do in this situation
