Would you rather stay an associate or move to an of counsel role if the long term goal is partnership?

I have 1.10 years of experience in HR Operations / HR Shared Services.

Can anyone help me to get a job change ?

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

I'm in a litigation, about 9 months in. Is it normal that I spend majority of my time making bundles for my partners (printing, binding, moving docs in a different order whenever there are new documents or he wants to add stuff) reviewing documents and making tables (e.g. dates, which documents are from where), and the only legal work is like notices of admission, list of documents, the occasional research?
