Network and explain. One year vs. two isn't lethal, but if you can explain your story to someone inside the target new employer and have them promote you to the hiring committee, then you'll have a good shot. Ideally emphasize that your training so far has been great-- the positive of hiring person with 2+ years of experience is that they are already trained up pretty well and can hit the ground running.
If that's not you, then you've still got to make your pitch anyway. It might be you and you don't even know it.
You are very junior. You have to embrace that. Don't try to play big shot-- your play is "I had a bit of bad luck, but I've learned a lot and I'm ready to hit the ground running and learn a lot more; I'm here to work hard and be useful"
The boutique RE firm I'm at is hiring. Please DM if you'd like to find out more.
