Ask HN: Any jobs that fit my background? In dire straits

I apologize for inquiring about job openings this way. I was laid off yesterday, I have not yet been paid for April 2019, and I will not be getting any severance. I'm in a pretty dire situation financially, detailed in the link at the bottom, so I'm tossing a hail mary.

Broadly speaking, I'm looking for a role where I can work with Python and where I can combine computer science and data analytics to solve interesting problems. I also have experience with Django, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Linux, AWS, ETL Flows, NVD3.js, Nginx, and Airflow.

I have a phone interview upcoming for SWE at Google but I am not super optimistic about this as I do not have formal CS training and I do not see myself as a full-fledged SWE. I am kind of in-betweener: not full data science, not full SWE, not a product manager, but pretty okay at all of these. I also founded an LLC and I have a web app that I created but this is nowhere near profitability and thus I am abandoning it for my job search.

If anyone on HN has any job search advice please let me know. If you know of any interesting job openings please let me know and I can send over my CV.

I'm in NYC at the moment but I'm open to working anywhere and can I start ASAP.

Thanks.
