Ask what you’re doing well;
Ask what you’re doing badly or need to improve on;
Ask whether they think you’re progressing;
Ask about promotion, if that’s something you’re interested in;
Ask about the direction of the partner’s practice and how you can be helpful for them to achieve their financial/revenue goals for the year
If you want to be that partner’s go to staff for new projects, say so and mean it.
