How to start earning money within a week: apply to start-ups.
I'm not sure if the landscape is different in the US. Here in the UK, start-ups will snap your hand off to get you through the door. When I last went through a round of interviews, I was getting from my initial chat with a recruiter to the final interview in a matter of days, and most of the offers would have allowed an immediate start had I been available.
- handsandwhich 4y agoThis is actually something I'm trying to avoid given the emotional/morally questionable aspect to using a start up temporarily while I find a better job. I know ultimately a start up will choose what's best for them (and would lay me off at a moments notice), but the emotional investment just sounds not appealing... FYI It's about the same here in the US, especially given my YOE. I'm pretty sure I could get a gig at a start up rather quickly.

No need to fear misleading them, just say you're only looking for contracting opportunities at present. Whether they take you up on it is up to them.
