Ask HN: How to quickly make 5k USD

i am in need of a lump sum of money to cover certain obligations i have not attended to recently, like rent and so on.

i am between jobs and have been 100% focusing on music. i ran out of money and have been eating rice and buckwheat for months but still happy because i get to live my passion everyday.

after the financial situation got really dire, i updated my LinkedIN and entered into the job search phase. it's going great, i am doing multiple interviews per day every day and i am confident i will get a job within 3 weeks (im waiting for my top 1 pick who scheduled an interview a bit further ahead).

however, even after i start at a job, it will take some time to receive salary. so, i want to make 5k quickly so i can address this outstanding debt and have this worry off my mind.

i am 18 years into my career in IT. i am an experienced Golang, Python programmer within the Kubernetes context - writing operators etc. (professionally). i have a super strong guru-level Linux background. i know networks and DNS intimately. been doing Cloud Native for 5 years, know it inside out. recently i've been doing really cool projects with AI, turns out there is quite a convergence with music. (i actually have a product in the works that is potentially Fuck You Money generating.)

all this is to say i have the skill and the knowledge. i am brainstorming the Opportunity side of things. will you help me?

P.S. some of you suggested sex work. please don't. i am female, it has crossed my mind and i even created a profile which succeeded wildly. am talking to some ppl but would rather achieve my goal in a different way.

P.P.S. i am located in Prague, Czechia.
