Looking for tips from seniors. I'm at A1 level at a litigation firm, stepping out of the deer-in-headlights phase. With the Partners assigning work to me in teams of 2-3, there's potential for growth. But with the sheer amount and depth of work on each case it's challenging to take on a more "adult" role. I often find myself in a more assistive role, either by my choice or the Partners'.
How can I accelerate my progress? What are Partners' and Seniors' expectations from year one associates?

Has anyone here ever tried negotiating “at will” employment terms in the US? I’m curious what specific terms folks have asked for and how the potential employer reacted.

How long should I wait to ask for an update? I was asked to provide my citizenship status and salary range. The recruiter said once I provide that, we can move onto the next step which is a coding test, and I replied within the hour. It’s been 4 days with no update. Is it alright to reach out and ask when the coding test will be?
