What is reciprocity?

I'll ask OP
"Once you get a clearance, new roles that require it don’t make you go thru the screening process again - instead they honour it"

I mean... Makes sense... But has he/she gone through a recertification?
That's where they'll get caught if they have to provide Financials and explain the extra income.
Well, yes, we don't call it "reciprocity" or even explain it that way but that's kinda how it works.
You go through a full investigation once every 5 years for a TS. After that, you just have it on your profile or account and anyone that wants to hire you for a cleared job just checks the system (DISS) to see if you have the clearance or not. Then they can "sponsor" you. In today's world, everyone is now enrolled in the Continuous Vetting (CV) program so even though they only do a full investigation once every 5 years, they do active monitoring and sort of these mini-investigations continuously during those 5 years in between.
The other thing, as it's been explained before, is that all FSOs at each of the companies can see all your sponsors. Anyone that wants to hire you for a cleared job becomes your sponsor. So in the case of the OP, they have 4 sponsors that will all show plain as day in DISS.
The only way it works imo, is if you're upfront with your employers about being OE. You can tell them that you're only 2J and the others are dual sponsors due to a prime contractor / sub-contractor situation where both need to sponsor you for the project you're working but there's no way that you can hide it.
Of course the FSO doesn't necessarily need to tell the employer but seeing 4 sponsors will definitely raise some questions.
