It depends on a ton of factors.... From what it is and how I got it, to the pay, and can I quit it immediately without penalty. While I think that this shutdown is going to run till around the end of the week I am not sure it will continue next week because that is when active duty military paychecks are affected which is likely to get big time attention.
How were active duty military personnel affected by shutdowns in 1995-96 and 2018-19?
I am guessing you cannot file for unemployment insurance?

You can get unemployment insurance, but you have to pay it back after the shutdown

I'm not sure. I recall hearing that most feds get furloughed so it fits with that.
I've mostly known economists who work for the feds and they all get furloughed

I don't think anything about outside employment changes during a shutdown, since you're still an employee officially
