Lots of excellent advice so far...I would add a couple of things. 3-5 days a week is a lot of travel either way, but it makes a big difference if that is one city per week for 3-5 days, or 3 or 4 cities in that 3-5 days. Having done both, the multiple cities in a week world REALLY wears you down fast. If you have a few days each week in one place you get to maintain a semblance of a schedule (you can go to the gym in the hotel, aren't expected to do a business dinner every night, etc). Secondly, I have found that being a road warrior early on does kick start your career as you are exposed to a lot more than you would be in a single office. Good luck.
