A job, yes.

Your dream job, maybe not.

You don't say where you live... or whether you have any internships under your belt.

Some hiring managers at tech companies (especially early stage ones, say sub 200 employees) look down upon new PhD's as being too academic and lacking in commercial experience.

Do you have any Python experience?

In my opinion: find what you want to do and become a professional in that field.

Don't try learn everything. Start from one thing.
