There’s a time and place for asking explicitly for feedback - it can give you 1:1 time with a mentor, and make you look engaged with your role.

But IMO more important is being able to see/hear feedback day to day without having to ask. Try to notice patterns in code review comments, which conversations you’re having trouble participating in due to lack of seniority in that area, which of your suggestions fall flat, etc. and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions (nondefensively!)/do some research if you don’t understand why you’re getting a particular reception.
