Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?

How do I train my critical thinking skills? Any book recommendations?

How to go from “I want to go for early promo” convos to “I am burned out and need a break” without “burning the bridge” with leadership? I have always been a strong performer, my reviews are all perfect and the feedback I got from my coach and account leaders was to go for early promo next year - started talks accordingly. However, this performance came with being overworked and completely burning myself out after months of non-stop 70-80 hour weeks. Any advice on how to go about this?
