I'm looking to get into a competitive FPS and these seem to be the main options nowadays. Pros/cons of each from a competitive standpoint?

well cs is has been around for 20 years and there's no way you'll be good enough to break into the scene, overwatch is a joke and siege is cancer but easy to get into competitively out of the 3 if you have any real talent. your best bet is siege
Jonathan Davis
they all suck but CS isn't a hero shooter so go with that
Matthew Baker
I'm not interested in going pro, just playing at an above-average level eventually

Overwatch is a joke
CSGO is counter strike it's a classic and still feels good to play even 20 years later. If you already played 1.6 or css you'll like it but don't expect much change it's more of the same
R6S is call of duty gunplay, with lean, destructible walls and moba characters, fun to play, some great ideas, but bad execution not making it worthwhile in the long run

Not competitive, not fun, barely even an fps, missed the boat.
>Csgo
Matchmaking is a literal cancerfest, no exaggeration there are hackers in every single game in both prime and non-prime, especially as you climb in rank. The matchmaking is so bad aswell that most games are decided from the moment you click "search"
>Six siege
Never played it, honestly looks like an even slower paced csgo with even more focus on strategy/meta/setups etc. rather than skill
>Good fps games
Splitgate was fun, but died instantly. Don't bother with BR's. Quake champions is unironically good with plenty of raw fps skill, I promise if you are good at quake champions, you will be good at every other fps on the market right now. It will improve all your fundamental skills
Battallion 1944 is pretty fun with good matchmaking, it's like a blend between COD and csgo, that's actually semi-competitive and is still fairly pure.
Honestly though we are in a dark time with FPS games, good ones can't really get popular due to the prevalence of BR and other trash. Hopefully halo infinite will be able to tap into this major gap in the market.

oh then counterstrike easily. ranked mode in siege sucks dick at diamond (full of cheaters, exploits and bugs, and 16 year olds bugging out on adderall; coming from someone who was actually diamond and not some twitchfag outsider observing from the comfort of my stream) and there's no competitive environment like esea or faceit to escape all the shit.
overwatch isn't enjoyable as a competitive shooter because you could be ballin out and have 5 gold medals every game and still lose because le forced 50% and the fact that it's a team game and you can't win with retards after a certain level.
counterstrike is highly competitive and has competitive private leagues that you can play on to escape mm turmoil, has a good amount of depth and has been around for years so there's infinite sources to always better and there's always going to be better players than you to challenge you to become better. Yea Forumseddit hates on cs but it's honestly the best competitive shooter with an actual userbase on the market in my opinion.

They all have their flaws, but CS:GO is certainly the most consistent of an experience. That is, if you want to get better there are obvious things you need to work on, and you're not worrying as much about cheating (it does exist mind you, but nothing like in R6S) or when the next patch may fuck everything up with balance changes since CS has had a solid formula since 1.6

Is it easy to find a match in NA?
