This is the story of a man who jumped from one job to another, from one country to another, from DRC to Luxembourg, doing more or less the same thing, but in 2 different environments. Indeed, the GDP in DRC is $312 per capita while it reaches $81,000 per capita in Luxembourg (around 260 times more).
