Hypothetically speaking, if one makes it to the last hiring step and is asked which one one would choose (have to disclose other applications), how would you compare them. I have perused each jurisdiction, mission, history, etc. Perhaps you would share your experience from personally interacting with each. Thanks in advance.

In regards to being a SA in the above listed agencies. I would say FBI. If you want to travel and work at embassy's and baby sit diplomats DSS. Both have their good and bad sides as does everything in life.
The FBI really takes care of their SAs better than any other agency.
Intel is also a good gig and is a rewarding job. Out of all the above agencies FBI would be my recommendation.
Oh I am not FBI..... One of the others listed above. I love my work but it has it's ups and downs and for someone starting out I would recommend what I did.
Good luck if you are applying.
