Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I am going to graduate college next fall with a degree in marketing. They ask us to start thinking about places we would like to work. There are a few companies in Columbus OH (Victoria Secret, Bath and Body, and Express) or some in Dallas TX (JCP, Neiman Marcus, Fossil, Zale Corp, Sally’s). Is it a bad idea to get an entry level position at Express or VS, then get my 5-7 years experience and move to a company in Dallas for a marketing manager position (OR VICE VERSA) then maybe to another place like NYC for a Marketing executive position?
Would this be a career killer showing unstable habits? or a good idea to climb the corporate ladder? I have heard each answer from two people and wanted other opinions.
