How do you go about promoting yourself and supporting your own career advancement? I've tried reaching out to team leads and they usually say something like "don't screw up" or "just give it enough time."

When you have capacity, ask for more responsibilities (not just more work). Ask for things that will grow your skills.
When you're swamped and someone approaches you to take something else on, succinctly explain that your plate is full and let them know you'll reach out when things slow down.
All of this requires you to communicate. Communicating your status helps your managers do their job. If you're behind, that's fine - they'll help you catch up. If you're ahead, that's great. Just communicate.
If you do these things, you will grow and superiors will notice.

You can only promote yourself by giving them really good performance and performance evaluation results. Unless you join company politics your career advancement may be on a very slow pace.

So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?
