I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google
How did it go?

You can be promoted after the perm is filled, even before filling the i140. That is what happened to me. As long as you do not change teams/work it is fine after filling perm. (I started GC process in March/2020, Perm approved on sept/2021, promoted in June/2021).
Thanks! I still have one year ahead depending on the USCIS, but I can almost see the light… 😅

It's definitely possible to file PERM for a future position, but your employer needs to agree. With less than 2 years left on H1b, unfortunately you don't have a ton of options.
1. Convince employer to file PERM in manager role
2. Stick it out for 2 years without promotion
3. Jump immediately to an employer who is ready to file Manager PERM on day 1
Thank you so much! If they insist to file with current position and I do take the possible promotion next year. What can happen if during PERM job posting step? What if PERM is submitted by then?
