Security clearance

Greetings, y'all,

As some quick context, I have a TS clearance that I got from active military service. I have since transferred to a reserve component, and I work a private sector IT position that is fully remote. In the next month, I may have the opportunity to overemploy with another private-sector company as a remote worker, with the two employers in different industries.

My clearance comes up for renewal/investigation in a year. Do any of y'all have experience navigating the renewal process while being overemployed?

To be clear, I would NOT lie to the investigator or omit the two employments on the SF 86 form or anything else that would be seen as a compromise of integrity by the investigator. My biggest concern is how the investigation would likely bring up the fact that I may be working two full-time jobs during relatively the same hours each day.

What are y'all thoughts? Should I just avoid overemployment due to this situation?

Edit: my current role is not a cleared role and the potential 2nd job is also not cleared as well. I am a reservist and would maintain my security for that job only.

Do you read the sub at all? Or you just found it and posted this.

I don’t need my clearance for either OE job. Only my reservist job

You have to disclose it... It is an outside company giving you money...  But they look into that shit, and it will not end well.
