My biggest concern would be personal growth opportunities, that would see this 
figure rise at the same company, rather than having to leave for another 
organisation just for the sake of the prospect of better pay (more dynamic 
experiences to be picked up, perhaps).

... it does have some co-relation with the cost of living. Generally, the cost 
of living in UG is low (but so are most salaries). Then again, government and 
privately owned institutions will go a long way in elevating the quality and 
standard of life (and hopefully, salaries).
