I've worked 35 years in technology under contract and direct hire in CA, TX, NY, PA, DC, MD & NC, and I have never not seen an NDA, which is par for the course in IT (which is not software development), nor have I ever known an employer that tolerated moonlighting. I knew a wizkid Cisco guy, 23yo at the time and already competent with impressive NOC, switch and UNIX sysadmin skills making bank in Austin, took a second full time job for a comparable salary, neither remote. He worked 80-100hrs every week, day and evening shifts, and didn't get caught for 2 years. But when he was caught, he was fired from both locations and lost their references. I doubt it held him back much, and I am sure he has recovered by now, but had to explain 3 years missing from his resume at every next job interview.
