In all cases, you'll want to keep it to yourself, is my advice :)

Oh. I agree.

I avoid obvious conflicts of interest. And for any unpaid and pizza-paid advice/minor work for people I do it quietly.

But that stuff is pretty simple relative to a (minor) real side-gig which I had (shareware back in the day) but was pretty much orthogonal to my day job and my manager knew about.
