My advice to you would be to stick out at least 2 years at your first job, so you aren't labeled as a job hopper off the bat by prospective employers.

After that, start applying everywhere to feel out what your more accurate market rate should be, unless your current company offers you a significant raise to stay.

Agreed. Your first job out of college doesn't need to pay handsomely, it's just a stepping stone to build experience and a resume. The employer is taking a bit of a risk with you too since you have zero work experience most likely. 2 years is a good amount of time to stick around before checking out the competition and not looking like a job-hopper.
