How Can I Maximize My Last Year of BBA to Land a Top Job?

I have one year left to complete my BBA in a Tier-2 city and currently work part-time as a corporate intern. I'm actively looking for big opportunities and career paths. Through my research, I found roles like Business Consultant, Product Manager in Big 4, MBB, Google, and Microsoft—but I want to know if there are more options worth exploring. I’m ready to acquire the right skills and make the best use of this year to land a top job, regardless of my Tier-2 city background. Can anyone guide me on what skills to focus on, certifications to pursue, and how to build a strong profile that stands out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
