IB Associate Not Getting Good Technical Reps

Fellow Monkeys - I am currently an associate 1 at a middle market investment bank, over the past few years our shop has seen extremely slow deal flow, and I feel significantly behind my peers in banking / feel stuck in the firm that I am currently at. 

Are other associates feeling the same / what are recommendations to get technical skills up to spec - note I am currently trying to lateral over to a BB to try and improve deal quality and stock for a hopeful VP move in GE / PE once the market improves. 

Any thoughts on this / is anyone feeling the same?
