In finance and where you need SC clearance, probably. But there's lots of other work out there.

What does the RoOA 1974 say about your conviction? Read the BPSS form carefully. Some are subject to the act so you may not need to declare.

I've seen both types.

Certain government agencies and public sector bodies won't take people on to their projects with certain convictions even though they will pass SC.

I knew someone who couldn't do some work for the police due to one of his driving convictions but had no problems being SC cleared to do other work.

A former colleague was SC cleared to work with MoD, but Met Police wouldn't clear him because of "family problems"...

A good friend of mine is doing SC work at HMRC despite having served a very short time in jail for assault in the past. He had it explained to him that it's the nature of the crime that's important; crimes involving deception, even if it were shoplifting a Mars Bar, are automatic disqualifications for most SC roles, especially in financially oriented agencies, whereas they'd consider and approve some other very serious crimes that didn't involve deception. They'd rather have an honest thug than a petty thief, regardless of how old the conviction.

83 have criminal convictions at last count

Doesn't really matter as while one is a case of fraud and the other is theft, no business or organisation that deals with finance will want to touch you.

I was referring to the OP's "story""

ok another question when transferring your SC to another bluechip company, what does the transfer entail i.e would the new company see the stuff you put on your SC form?

Sorry? It's a security assessment questionnaire. Why do you think they wouldn't need to see it?

Seriously, you need to read the sticky on clearance before asking more questions. The one thing they are looking for is honesty; you're not convincing me you've grasped that yet.

I'm asking upon SC transfer what the new company would see as far as I know you initiate the transfer but what do they actually see it's a genuine question if you don't like the question please stay away from the thread
