As a student using STEM EAD, you can not file GC cos F1 student can not file.
While on TPS , if you use your EAD and your sponsoring company is willing to file GC, then they can do so provided you are full time employee (You have W2 and paystubs running).
Having said that, your F1 status will be changed to TPS.
Buttom line: You have to give up F1 and apply GC under EB2 or EB3. GC is a lenthy and time consuming process and takes anywhere between 1.5 to 2 years. You have exactly 19 months before TPS expire. So plan accordingly and take necessary steps with backup plan. Better talk to professional lawyer if your company is willing to sponsor you for GC.
