Investment Sales to Buy-Side Advice

Currently trying to lateral to the buy-side, some background:

- Graduated from a non-target SEC school's honors college with a 3.65 GPA

- Spent 1 year on an industry leading Self Storage Capital Markets Team (CBRE, JLL, C&W, Newmark)

- Transferred internally to a Tri-State Capital Markets Team to get exposure to Industrial, Multi, Office, Life Science, Mixed-Use and focus on the NY Metro. Less transaction volume but more applicable skills and ideal geography.

- Now 2 years in without any real specialty, sort of a jack of all trades but master of none type deal.

Now looking to get into an acquisitions/investment role at MM PE/Family Office shop, but not seeing a ton of jobs and don't think I rly fit the mold of the typical juniors. Particularly at a multifamily shop as I haven't had as much UW experience as I would have liked.

May need to stay another year to get 2 full years of the major asset classes under my belt, but don't want to get stuck on the sell-side.

Any thoughts on how to best navigate?
