Can I apply for H1B transfer to my new employer while applying for marriage green card through marriage with a US citizen the same time?

Didn’t find the right article online talking about this. But my situation is that I am going to get laid off by my current company (I am still employed under H1B as the company wants to give people time to find jobs). Right after I got the news, my partner who is a US citizen and I decided to get married so I can get green card ASAP. So we already mailed out my marriage based green card. This week, I found a new job and the company is willing to transfer my visa so I can start immediately (it takes more than five months to get work permit through marriage based green card so I wouldn’t wait that long). Can my new employer still be able to file my H1B transfer petition while the government is processing my marriage based green card? I would assume that I need to provide USCIS my new employment information but not sure if my current marriage based green card case would not allow filing for H1B transfer the same time. My H1B is not going to expire until 2022.

I need help!!! Got an offer for Citi Private Bank at 110k for an Associate Banker (A1) position. Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!

Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?
