I don't happen to see the answer to this question, so I am requesting if anyone knows about this.

I came to US in F1 status. Just graduated, MS degree. I found a company and they filed my H1B. It has not been approved yet. BUT I think the company takes way too long to find a job for me. In the meantime, I talked to other company and I am willing to go to the second one. At this time, since my H1B is pending in Nebraska Center, is it possible I can join the second company without knowing what will happen to my applied H1B process? Anyone knows if this option is possible? Please advise. I will highly appreciate your help. Both the above companies are consulting companies. Right now, I am in Optional Practical Trainning.

Thank You.
 
Yes. Possible, and legal.
You must stop working for B (or C or D...) after OPT expires, unless an H1B is approved for B (or C or D...) by that time.
