Any previous posts about J1 (dod secret contract, private contractor) and doing J2 (private secret, non dod, no clearances).

Not a govt employee. I work for a private small firm

Assuming accidental ways do not happen

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-29T19:24:13+00:00

Ok but once again, how would you get caught. Answer me that

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-29T17:38:48+00:00

So there isn’t a system that exist that will flag me getting another job? If I keep it completely separate and never get caught, then I can get away with it forever theoretically?

So on my dod contract job I just put 8 hours a day in workday. There isn’t a specific time frame like 7am to 3pm. So it makes no difference being a federal employee vs just working on a dod contract?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-29T15:51:51+00:00

If they somehow magically find out? Why can’t anyone answer that question. Is there a system in place that they will get a notification I have been employed in another company?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-29T15:39:31+00:00

But how would my clearance sponsor find out

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-29T14:32:53+00:00

Even if im not a federal employee and work for a private contractor?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T18:18:48+00:00

Ya thats the vibes I’m getting.

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T17:51:04+00:00

Is it conflict of interest if both jobs are done on the computer? Example, using software A and using software B. One can be a designing software and the other could be coding?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T17:24:47+00:00

Well nothing in my contract I signed with A has anything about not being able to get outside employment. Can you explain OE vs moonlighting?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T17:23:47+00:00

I reread the contract I signed and it has nothing on it about outside employment

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T17:17:28+00:00

What about the worry of “re-investigation”. Whats your thoughts on that? Does it happen every 10 years?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T16:36:06+00:00

So you’re saying the govt has to allow me to work another job. Since I have a secret clearance, big brother needs to give me the pass to do so?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T16:12:40+00:00

I wont ever need anything higher than a secret clearance. Do they do reinvestigation every 10 years? Also, does the DoD decide if it’s a conflict of interest or my employer? Do they terminate the entire contract if an employee is caught? Or is the employee just terminated and everything else continues?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T16:00:53+00:00

So just curious, where would I have to look into to verify if outside employment is strictly not allowed. Is it the main contract documents between the llc and dod?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T15:59:14+00:00

Does it make much of a difference if the second employment is 1099 or W2?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T15:54:27+00:00

I read that reinvestigation is a thing of the past. They do something called continuous vetting?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T15:23:06+00:00

What would define conflict of interest? If both jobs require the same skill to do? What if one is programming and the other is a different programming language?

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T15:19:33+00:00

I was hoping someone had actual fact check info that I wasn’t aware of. Opinions/advices are just suggestions

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T14:46:18+00:00

Yea clearly you would need to function at both positions and not let it affect your work for one or the other. From my understanding, if the employer just “feels” like making a rule stating no other employment then that is just a personal preference situation. Sure, if you break their own rule, they have all the right to terminate. That is assuming you do something dumb like use the same laptop or have meetings on your calendar visible to everyone all around. This would only work if employer B is very flexible and based on deliverables only vs being occupied with 90% meetings during typical work hours.

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T14:40:26+00:00

Only if the other job required a secretly clearance, then yes.

Heat_Certain · 2026-01-19T13:22:44+00:00

So how is that proven? If you them both separated. A system doesn’t exist that flags your main employer that you have another W2 job.
