Need Resume / Career Advice

Echo chamber in a sense but nyc real estate acquisitions, AM, Private Credit, etc is feels so cooked. 

Graduated from MSRED at harvard/MIT type school in May with great internships at GPs and LPs on acquisitions and AM. Prior experience was 3 years in CMBS and 2 years in commercial banking. Currently at an LP , contract role as they are keeping me on as I find a job. It seems like I am too junior for Senior Associate Roles, too senior for Analyst/Associate Roles, overqualified for AM/PM and under qualified for acquisitions. Even with networking, warm intros, strong referrals, I am rarely even getting a first round interview. 

Any advice? I feel like the AM/PM roles are scared that i will leave for acquisitions when we exit the trough. Feedback I am getting is that they are looking for someone greener or with more transactions under my belt. It's a tough time to pivot into the buyside. I can definintley talk on par with the people on the team and I am confident in my technical and interpersonal ability. I know its a tough time, but it seems impossible for someone in my position.
