Quitting your job after submitting VISA 190

Subclass 190

Hi everyone,
I’ve read a few posts discussing whether it’s okay to quit your job after lodging a Subclass 190 visa application, but most of the posts I found are more than a year old, so I wanted to ask again based on the current situation.
I’m currently in Queensland and was invited for the 190 visa under my nominated occupation. One of the Queensland requirements was to have worked in my nominated occupation for at least 9 months, which I have now completed.
I lodged my 190 visa application exactly one week ago, and I’m now considering leaving my current job. If I do leave, I’m planning to work in a different job that is not related to my nominated occupation while I wait for the visa decision.
Has anyone recently been in a similar situation or can confirm whether quitting at this stage could affect my 190 application?
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences.
