The above posts covered it pretty much. My personal experience:
Sep 2017 - Process started
May 2018 - PERM filed
Aug 2018 - PERM approved
Nov 2018 - i140 filed in Premium and approved

It’s default Premium at EY for H1b transfer. I140 unlike KPMG which is cheap. (I know because I was at KPMG)

Thanks

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
