I wouldn't worry about lack of impact of your work, that's the nature of any entry level job. you need to set a new goal and work towards that. do you want to be a senior banker? move to buy side? get an MBA? If you have a goal and doing mind numbing work at a bank gets you to that goal, then it won't really matter to you that you're re-arranging logos or doing some other low impact task.
