"Aiming for your fl dream company" is a terrible idea in general.
"Dream companies" are usually the dream company of lots of people.
Know what that means?
Excess labor supply
It means you're probably going to be paid poorly, and your workload will probably be dramatically higher than your paycheque warrants, and your managers will not give one shit about you because they've had a thousands "passionate" new hires, and they just turn you all over to keep it cheap.
STOP GIVING FREE LABOR TO COMPANIES

That's tough. What industry? (and how much travel really?
If that much travel is required, I'm curious because that implies that being shorthanded could be costly.
Pay more and aim 10+ years older, is my "first peek" thought.
My second would be "hire double (and combine with other roles?) and cut travel in half"
But I'm just a stranger who likes juggling logistical/personnel problems as mental exercises.
