Really appreciate some advice

I would like to get some advice from the group on what opportunities are out there for someone with my background. I know I don't want to stay at my job or my industry but don't know what jobs are out there for someone like myself.

My Background:
I have been working at a bank as an analyst (non-IBD) for 2 years now. My role focuses on business strategy, loan pricing, loan portfolio analysis, business expansion and risk analysis. After 2 years, I could not say I had acquired any tangible skills. My role is very board and has many parties to support. As a result, I did not really learn much of accounting (have finance to help), statistics (has stats team), or programming (have IT support). I have built several "models", at least we call them "models" internally, and had put together a lot of decks for business proposals. But I just don't know if I have learned anything that is transferable.

I know it is time to switch job when I find that I am not learning much and am really miserable going to work on things I have no interest in. I am currently thinking about management consulting but at the same time I would rather be in a corporation "making things happen" instead of "advising the clients".

I have looked around in LinkedIn on different corporate jobs but there doesn't seem many that I am qualified for (2 yrs of non-IBD finance). The ones I saw either want accounting (preferably CPA with big 4 experience) or someone that had done a IB or consulting gig.

Within a big (fortune 500) company, what positions would a person with my qualifications fit in?

Thanks in advance!
