Have I screwed up already?

I'm a 1st year analyst in Internal Audit at a bank, and I'm worried I've already screwed my career up

I have a degree in Computer Science from an average university, but didn't get any jobs more interesting than this (wanted to go into something more data focused)
When I was deciding what to do, so many people told me that I could use IA as a stepping stone to get into more intereting parts of finance - but I've been here for a year and haven't seen anyone do it. 

Has anyone been in the same position, or can anyone offer me any advice?
