Yes, it can also be used as an inappropriate joke in certain situations ;)

Hello. Yes, that is a very informal expression. "I would kill to get that job !" Using "..die...", although i think I may have heard it, it not used so much in the same way.

"I would kill" ...or "I would die" would be used to show desperation.. urgency to have something. To express that your desire is so great that you would do just about anything to get it.
