Should I go back for an internship?

Hello everyone,

A little context: I have full-time experience of around 2 years and actively looking for a job switch. I recently applied to a top company and got an offer to intern there for a few months. It's extremely hard for tier-3 students to get a call back from this company so the offer is a little tempting.

I believe that this will be a great learning experience in efficient and scalable system design and implementation. As far as the financial aspect goes, the stipend alone is ~75% higher than my current pay and the perks more than make up for my total comp. However, this is potentially temporary since there is no guarantee of a full-time offer and it requires me to relocate to a new city.

Side note, my past experiences have been short-term engagements due to both voluntary or involuntary reasons. In case this doesn't convert, will recruiters classify my profile as a job hopper?

I would love any suggestions on this situation. Thanks!

TLDR; looking for suggestions on whether I should leave my full-time job to pursue an internship at a top company after 2 years of full-time experience.
