When soldering components to PCBs, I have seen two different approaches:

1) Trim the legs BEFORE soldering to avoid stressing the joint when snipping the legs off.

2) Trim the legs AFTER soldering which is easier than the first approach.

I just make a judgement call, I try to snip as gently as possible. If I think I have disturbed the joint I will re-wet it.
