Are you serious? Apples to oranges. FAC P/PM is pretty much agency mandated/required at whatever level and PMP is at your discretion

They're quite similar, though the FAC P/PM is government specific, while the PMP is universal.

Same ish, different application. FAC-P/PM for gov agency work, PMP for everything else. If you plan to get into private sector some day, PMP is good to have.

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?
