Job change on H1 transfer receipt

Hi,

I need suggestion from you guys on my situation.

 - My am a FTE with a 500 B$ large tech company. My I-94 expires in 08/2019 and so is my visa stamp. I have an approved I-140 with my current employer. I have a masters degree from outside USA and 11 years of work experience in software development. No status issues so far, never changed employer.

- Accepted a job offer from a 200 B$ large tech company. Full time employment. Same area as previous employer. Their immigration team is doing H1 transfer and extension work and will be filing soon. Most likely it will be filed with California service center.

My concern is if I should switch job on transfer receipt. I am not sure if I have to take the risk.

1. What are the chances of transfer petition getting denied? Should I try to convince them to wait until petition is approved? 

2. If the transfer petition is denied,  what options do I have? 

Please advise. Thank you and have a nice day.
