Same tips as going from S1 to P1....it isn’t going to happen.

To make that happen you will have to be doing some of the work of a senior a few months before the year end when they have promotion discussions.

Don’t get your hopes up

I know a guy went from A1 to S1 but he’s an experienced hire

Or you could just work for 2 years. Just need to be average.

Don’t quit or get fired. That’s all it takes.

My advice: spend 2 years as an A1 then you’ll likely get promoted to S1
