Sounds like you have a pretty big chip on your shoulder. Welcome to the real world, where things aren't perfectly linear and you have to learn to adapt. 

It isn't like there are a bunch of super active teams you could jump to right now, pretty much everyone is on the sidelines. So unless you plan on being unemployed for a while, my advice is to make the most of it and learn whatever you can to make yourself a better acquisitions person later.

Actually dig into AM and see what mistakes acquisitions people make that AM is now having to triage/fix. Learn about loan documents and how your financing either makes or breaks your deals. Learn about development.

You are what, 24 years old? Hardly a rainmaker that your firm absolutely needs to keep/keep happy.
