My situation is this - I'm trying to get into a large company. And on the job app. they ask the question:

Max. travel days/weeks
 No travel
 Up to 1 day a week
 Up to 2 day a week
 Up to 3 day a week 
 Up to 4 day a week
 Up to 5 day a week

I'm temped to answer 5 days, as it's the most flexible. And i'm still single.. but at the same time, would that mean I'm always flying and sipping red-bull, with no extra time ?

Would 2 days a week be seen as non-commital?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

  they are asking you in order to find out if your going to meet their needs. I wouldn't recommend lying to them. If there is no "as needed" option, then I don't think we can help you, sorry mate.

Put what you are willing to do. Presumably when (if not before) they make an offer, they'll tell you what's involved, and you can say whether you are willing to take that or not.

Given that it's a large company, this is probably a standardized app, and the travel requirements will vary by job. Unless they are just taking random applications with no specific plans (not likely), they won't really pay much attention to this.
