Sitting South, what would your next bid be?

Because you show your support to your partner, you have a maximum but not the best shape.

If partner has the right cards, we can make game. Partner can have a hand where he might pass 2♥️ but we can still make game. On the other hand, it is very likely that you go down with these cards.
15/20 (if invite)
The reason why this is not the best bid is that you don’t show your support for partner. The first thing to look at is whether you have support for your partner. But starting with 1S, you will learn more about partner’s hand, which will make it easier to know if you should make an invite instead.

You might end up in 1NT when you have an 8-card fit in a major, but it might be good if partner bid after 1NT so that you know if you should invite or not.
