[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Econ-coned FSO and generally say I handle policy issues while FCS does export promotion. But that's a very broad statement - we work very closely with FCS to promote US business interests. They do trade shows, trade delegations and direct support to US firms. We do more reporting and analysis of all Econ issues, including everything from health/infectious diseases, IPR protection, nuclear safety, entrepreneurship, etc. while commerce focuses more on specific business deals and the private sector. At posts where FCS isn't present, State EconOffs perform the commercial functions. I don't know about attrition rates, but more of my FCS colleagues have transitioned to private firms, in my experience. I think either are great opportunities - I've had some awesome FCS colleagues over the years and they do great and important work. [/quote]
