Why don't you come interview, we're hiring smart motivated people in San Francisco. http://chartboost.com/jobs

As far as general advice, I'd say if your skills are not good enough to get you a full developer's job right now, try to get hired as an intern, or as a community manager or something that doesn't require coding, at a startup. Suck up the bitch work for a while, try to automate a lot of your work using scripts, learn as you go and make it clear your end goal is to move to development—if you're smart, you'll be promoted in no time. I have some friends who've come in knowing nothing about development, and been promoted to junior developer within 6 months.

That is definitely the type of role and organization I would like to join. I am in NY right but will be back in the bay area soon and would be interested in an interview. I am certainly open to an internship, do you know if internship opportunities are paid?

Yeah, internships are definitely paid. Shoot me an email, [e-mail]
