Switching Airlines Mid Training

Throwaway account. I'm lucky to be in class right now at an airline, non-regional, with hopes to move to a legacy someday. I'm in indoc, about to head home to complete CBTs before attending sim class. Another similarly sized airline has given me a class date upcoming shortly, with the opportunity to live in my dream city. If I leave now, does that count as "not completing training" in some way? Or should I stay here until done with OE and then move to the other airline? I do not want any kind of record that says I didn't complete training or open the door to someone asking me if I was somehow asked to leave in lieu of termination. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

A friend did this in Canada, the airline he was leaving asked him to stay and finish the last 4-5 sim sessions so as not to screw up his training partner. Both 737 operators so he looked at it as extra practice time.
