I'm applying to this position and found out that someone from inside the company is also applying. Does talent acquisition automatically move internal candidates to the top of the pile? I've got a strong resume, but not sure if I even stand a chance here. Should I even bother?

Unless the place is tiny, someone from inside the company will ALWAYS be applying. Sometimes they're favored, but sometimes they're known to be bad at their current job. Don't treat it any differently.

I’ve applied to jobs where internal people were also in the mix, and sometimes the company just posts it externally for compliance. But now and then, the external candidate wins.

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in.

Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.

Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?
