Is there any advantage of getting an i140 if you’re switching jobs? I just learned that the new company will have to refile the PERM and get another i140 approval & you only retain the priority date

Definitely an advantage. Earlier with Perm u cud get a Year extension after max out. With I-140 u get three years.

Correct. But u get to retain your priority date aka. your place in the line. Also +1 to what M1 said. Also even if your new employer may have not filed perm and I-140 (yet), you may be able to get 3 yr extension on h1b based on previously approved I-140.

Yes I would get it for the reasons M1 listed out
