In the momo, it is clarified that one must have a same or similar job at time of 485 approval e.g. if if there was an interview, one is not allowed to say " I am looking for a job" and get the GC. In others words, one must have a bona fide job or job offer at time of GC approval.
The memo does not say that one can not change the job after GC approval. One may have a bona fide job offer at time of GC but may get another one after GC approval as well. The memo is silent about new jobs after GC approval. I would say, it should not matter as no where in the memo there is any prohibitory clause against new jobs after GC.
That is my understanding from reading the memo.

Question 14. Must the alien have a new offer of employment at the time the I-485 is being adjudicated under the I-140 portability provisions?
Answer: Yes. The alien cannot still be looking for “same or similar” employment at the time the I-485 is being adjudicated under the adjustment portability provisions. The alien must be able to show there is a new valid offer of employment at the time the I-485 is adjudicated.
If you lose your job at the time of AOS, in theory, your GC is invalid. People are also talking how long is safe to change job after I-485, check thread "life after GC". If you change job, do it quick and pray I-485 not been approved during this phase. What a bummer!
