Hopeless and Lost - Need Guidance

Hi All,

I come from a very untraditional background - I currently work at an industry-specific investment bank with limited coverage on other sectors (i.e., think of an investment bank that only covers freight and logistic companies). I began my career in finance as an intern at this firm doing a lot of back-office work (my interview did not consist of any IB-esque questions such as "Walk me through a DCF".) Frankly, I still don't fully understand the DCF and have been working towards filling the gaps in my knowledge. 

I've been an "Analyst" at this firm for roughly two years now and I am deathly scared that I have pidgeon-holed my finance career in the freight and logistics industry (an example industry, not the one my group covers). There is very limited modeling exposure in my role (I've only done one three-statement model). Most of the modeling is basics such as P&L reconciliation and calculating adjustments towards EBITDA. Hell, we don't even run comps or public comps given the nature of the industry and resort to multiples on EBITDA that we are familiar with. 

Deal flow has been healthy at the Company, I have worked on (in same way, shape, or form) around 30-50 deals ranging from $15MM to $500MM in EV (I don't even know how to calculate the EV of a Company, but this is what they were valued at using an EBITDA multiple). I have only worked on two pitch decks in my entire career (which seems like a joke, but the deal flow was really good given our firm's specialty in the space). 

I have a good understanding and foundational knowledge of the entire M&A process, CIM building (I've probably contributed work towards 30+ CIMs at this point), and basic valuation (calculating EBITDA and slapping a multiple). I know there are laps being circled around me from kids at other firms. My team is very lean and consists of a deal team of less than four individuals. 

Ideally, I'd like to get to a point where I can find myself on the buy-side (started studying on weekends). I do believe I can land a role in corporate development at a strategic company, but I'd like to find myself working on a broader market (Consumer, TMT, etc.) Am I completely hopeless and should I throw in the towel? Is there hope for me to lateral to another firm as a 1st year (GPA isn't the best)? I don't really have anyone else to vent to as my situation seems to be very unique and different from the experience of others.  

Any thought, or guidance would be great. (Don't have many close contacts in banking that I can reach out to). 

EDIT vF2: I'd like to point out that I have a lot of exposure to C-suites and operators in the space. 

EDIT vF3: I'd like to add that I am the most junior in the firm and the other two members in my deal team rarely ever break more than 45+ hours a week. I am the first one to go in the office, and always the last to leave. This can be demoralizing at times when I'm lost and can't seek help. AND I AM VASTLY UNDERPAID.
