24M First Gen Law Graduate : Is a drop year for LLM a good way to reset a weak CV ?

I am a bit confused as to what should I do further. Judiciary is definitely not an option for me, neither is Civil Services. As of now, what I've thought is of taking a drop year and appearing in LLM entrance exams to secure an admission in any good college, then do one or two internships (I know internships are difficult to manage while doing an LLM), and ultimately try to secure a good job (in a law firm hopefully). Will this be a good thing to do ?

The other thing I'll do is appear for APO exams and regulatory bodies exams (SEBI etc.) but these exams don't happen regularly and even if they happen, the vacancies are quite less. I'll still prepare for them as I'm already preparing for LLM entrance exams and the syllabus overlaps.

What I need is more clarity on whether doing LLM considering the situation I'm in right now is the best choice or do I have any other better options that I'm unaware of ?
