Average salary range for Web App Developer?

I'm 23 in Baltimore, MD and graduated in 12/05 with a BS and have been working full time ever since (since 1/06, a year and 5 months experience). I've been offered a position starting at 65K with a really fun marketing and web company 15 minutes away with 4 weeks paid vacation. This was my first offer in my search, but honestly I'm thinking of taking it (looks like a fun/friendly place to work). Does that salary figure seem to low though? Thanks. Oops, I didn't mean to make my question sound greedy, I meant to ask if that salary figure sounds about average given my experience. Thanks.

1. Geography makes a big difference in pay scales. See www.salary.com for a free gerenalize profile based one a few questions and your zip code they can tell you pretty close to what you should be making.
2. If you like that job offer I would encourage you to go for it even if the salary is a little low, but that doesn't seem to be the cas here. My information might be a little out of date, but 65k is pretty good especially for a starting salary with your experience.
3. You have 17 months experience and you're being offered 65K?? Dude, what part of 'where do I sign' don't you understand? That is a GREAT salary for someone with such little experience. After you have 3-4 years of experience in a wide variety of apps you might be able to negotiate a higher salary, but that's not bad at all for a junior web developer (and with only 17 months experience, you're still considered in a 'junior position'). And only 15 minutes from where you live? And 4 weeks paid vacation? AND its fun and friendly??? If you let this one slide you will be 'kicking' yourself for a long time.
4. Two words = TAKE IT!
