For e.g. a regional HRBP is usually at least 4-5 levels above your current job as a junior HR ops exec. Most generalist who transit to proper specialist role need to chalk up at least 10 years exp in the ops space.
Being ambitious is good, but must also know where you stand. Otherwise its just wasting time or worse still get interviewed by some co. who give inflate titles, wasting your time and jeapordising your career prospects in the process.

I understand the directions you are coming from but I had had the opportunity to work in MNCs prior to my current Generalist roles and I had regretted deeply for giving up so easily in my younger days. However, I had seen many big companies looking for specialist requiring just about 2years of working experience so I don't quite agree with the 10years exp for transition. A HR Generalist may not have the in depth knowledge in each of the different functions we deal with but I don't think its so bad to be requiring 10 years to go for a specialist role.
