PMP or SAFe? Which is better? Why? Are either of these useful still? Do companies care if you have them or not?

PMP only for gov.

SAFe is a good way to get introduced to agile development practices

PMP - Waterfall
SAFe - Agile

What type of project do you want to work in? As far as companies go, varies by company.

Government likes to see pmp more often. Outside of that, maybe if you plan on work in old rich white men industry like textiles, manufacturing, oil, etc. Otherwise most tech places don't care for it

I’ve been seeing a fair amount of roles posted requesting SAFe if that has any bearing on your decision

Tech values agile certifications more. Really depends on which route you want to take. But overall these certification provide little to no value if you don’t have relevant experience.

SAFe but I think even SAFe is more geared towards government. Like when a contractor is Buk isn’t a massive defense system that includes actual physical production and what not too. I have a cert but honestly haven’t really heard of it being used much.

In my experience, insurance, health care, and government all value PMP very highly. It's a great industry certification, but meaningless for elite consulting.

Also, the PMBOK curriculum has had major revision in recent years and has agile techniques integrated throughout. Will have even more in 2021.
