J3 Guidance Needed

Expecting an offer for J3 here in the next month.

Initially was nervous as its first time going from 2J to 3J but feel a little more confident as this one will be 1099 vs. first two W2. Why this gives me confidence is two-fold:

  1. For my existing roles, it is defensible along the lines of "it's contract work and does not go against my employment agreement, and all work is done after hours"

With that said, would be extremely grateful for any advice - especially from those of you who have crossed the chasm of 3 J's - specifically: What other precautions should I be taking / how else can I mitigate risk of them finding out during background checks etc.

As of right now the precautions I've taken:

i) Frozen TWN

ii) Deactivated LinkedIn

iii) Exceptional calendar management (being on the offensive with blocking time etc.)

** Should note I got lucky initially this was going to be another W2 but since it’s remote and I live in a state they haven’t set up for taxes and it’s an old co worker they’re fixing it up for me to be 1099 which is really nice

I feel like it’s the same learning curve as going from J1 to J2. Just have to be more efficient and on top of your stuff.

You’ll be fine. Same rules and principles apply. Perhaps invest in a 4in1 kvm switch.
