Switching jobs is fine, but I wouldn't do it too close to the interview if at all possible; you want a few months of the new job under your belt to show paystubs and that the job is stable.

i switched my job after filing the I 130 as the petitioner. I didnt even consider it myself to be an issue. You have to fill out so many papers from start to finish. Our case took a little over a year to complete. Both myself and my husband switched jobs. We were not questioned about this at all. When a new form had to filled out and it pertained to employment we just updated that section on the that form. The Visa Center's main concerned is that you make enough money to support the beneficiary. The income taxes papers that you will submit near the last stages will prove it, regardless if you switch jobs. They request that you send copies of your income tax of the last three years.
