FINRA Registration Issue

Background: So I joined my current firm 1 month ago and hate it and am looking to lateral ASAP. 

I have an offer that I was in the process for before I started my current job.

(I wasn’t required to be registered earlier because I was at a boutique) 

Question: Should I sit the license exams with my current firm if I’m leaving soon anyway? And will the firm I’m moving to find out that I gave the exam under my current firm? If they do, I’d rather just wait to give the exams once I’ve lateralled. 

Any advice is very helpful, thank you.
