I wouldn't worry that much. I'm a Java Developer from Hungary with 4 years experience behind my back when I came here to the UK last year. My first job was with 22K and over a year I almost doubled my salary. The problem is with web development, that most of the developers come from a home learning background with almost zero commercial experience and nothing to show up. This is funny, because some fields need a portfolio or something, like Android development, where the candidate has to have successful apps on the Play Store. ( But who want's to work at a company if you have a selling app which makes you enough money) These things can water down the industry a bit. And don't forget, that as the candidate so does the company likes to lie a bit. They wan't more and more skills and we usually say more that we actually know. I would say, if you're confident enough with your skills and you can sell yourself, then always go for the highest offer. They very well know they won't get anyone decent with that low of a wage. But they like to try. And after a year or so, go and look for a new job. With one or two years commercial experience and something to show, you will get a lot better positions offered.
