Filing PERM is better than H-1B dear (if this option is available).
Best advice that no one gave me: Try to get into any company that sponsors GC on day 1 assuming you have a current EAD - Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. I knew this too late and when I got in, they filed my GC while I worked on my VAWA case separately. Basically, I had two petitions at the same time. They also provide attorneys at no cost that helps tremendously.
