Can I invite my parents to the UK while changing jobs (I'm on a work visa here)? - Smiling Asian woman in apron standing on store doorway

I want to invite my parents to visit me in the UK, London and I have all the required documents, such as proof of my address, bank statement, proof that I earn X amount per year...

However, I'm in the process of changing jobs and I'm not sure what effect can that have? I'm starting a new job in 3 months, but I'll be working at the current company before I move.

Is the proof of my salary enough? I understand that this might be a bit of gray zone, so what are your thoughts? Also, the next job will have 6 months of probationary period, while the current one was indefinite.
