Should I wait for STEM extension before starting green card?

I am an MS new grad joining Waymo(same immigration company as Google, to my knowledge) soon.
Not from a country with enormous backlog for green card, such as India and China. Not from Canada or Mexico or US either.
I am planning to apply for green card during F1 OPT, and was told by the recruiter that it would be possible.
Should I start green card process on day 1?
Or should I at least wait for 9 months, get STEM extension approved, then start the green card?

Btw, mind sharing position and compensation at waymo?
I thought my visa status would change from F1 to something else(like "pending I-485 approval") once I file I-485.
