Take whatever you can get and work fast. Getting more experience should be the goal at your stage.

Ask for more, make that your bottom line if they counter offer. It is low, but without knowing what type of art direction, how many years of experience you have or what size the company is, maybe it's not too low.

Advice appreciated!
