CRE Brokerage exit ops

What are the exit ops for someone who has 2 yrs exp at a CRE brokerage that is part of a capital markets team? I initially wanted to get into banking (not neccesarily real estate) before I started at my current role, would that still be possible? Did I pigeonhole myself for staying too long?

Your exit opps are anything you imagine them to be. You did not pigeon hole yourself by working a job for two years. 
 

If by banking you mean investment banking, you will have quite a difficult path to getting there, most likely involving near impossible to get into MBA programs, but very few things in life are actually insurmountable

I am in a similar situation. Worked in investment sales for two years and am looking to leave. Is an acquisitions/asset management role for a Private Equity firm the most plausible next step? Currently seems very difficult to find many roles that fit my criteria of what I am looking for. Any ideas outside of Private Equity/maybe RE in general which could be a good fit for a next step?
