Broadly speaking, how does applying to a position with a clearance work (TS specifically)? Do you wait to get your clearance fully cleared before resigning from your current job?

If I understand correctly, you currently tdon't have one so you'd be hired onto the bench and do internal/noncleared work until your TS is adjudicated which could take 6+ months

You just apply. If youre hired, the new firm will get your clearance transferred.

If you don't have one, the process starts after youre hired.

But either way there's nothing special about applying to the job post.

My brother sat in the unclassified portion of the office for >1 year getting paid doing busy work while his clearance went thru the system.

Not every employer will sponsor such a thing.

I mean, a fresh TS is probably like 5+ months now if you don’t have any oddities. Yea, definitely wait .

If you don't have a clearance and the job you are applying to requires one, any offer would be contingent on you getting the clearance.

What I’m trying to get at is will I have to resign from my current job and wait for the clearance to come thru? Bc there’s a risk that I don’t get the clearance and then I’m SOL and out of a job right?
FWIW I have a secret but this job requires a TS.

If you have a Secret, that transfers to the new company. You will then have to apply for TS and wait for that to clear before being read in your whatever the new role is.
If the new role with TS is with a new firm, then yes, you have to join that firm within 30 days of applying for TS.

Sorry to say this but I have seen only Indians who work extra hours. What's even funny is that the upper management laugh at foreigners who work exactly 8hours.
