WWYD if job option #2 makes you an offer, but dream job #1 is dragging their feet/let you know it might be up to three months before an offer is given; also dream job’s interview feedback was great.

Take option #2 for the time being. If it’s three months until an offer is made and you accept with a start date 3-4 weeks away. Then you end up at option two for 4 months. That’s fine

Def option #2. I’ve seen lots of potential offers get killed for various reasons. Sounds like they’re waiting for Q1 funds, but who knows what could happen in the meantime. Also, option #2 might end up being really great.
