> Just as many Japanese car manufacturers have their own go to parts makers, these parts makers might have their own go to parts makers ("magouke" or grand children outsourcing). I've worked for a "great-grandchild" outsourcer. Megacorp A outsourced to B, which hired C, which hired my company. I actually worked at A's offices so personally it was a good experience for me, though my salary was crap -- around my 2 year anniversary I talked to a recruiter, who kindly informed me that sanitation workers in the US earned about the same as me. Once I went to Europe for a business trip. Though A's employees had all their expenses paid, my own contract with my company didn't predict that clients would ask grunts like me to go on international business trips, so they only paid a fixed daily allowance in yen (for meals and the like). To make it worse, the euro was really high against the yen, so my allowance amounted to 7 euros or so. After 2 weeks in Europe I was in the red. It was still a good experience though, and I always boast about it in job interviews in Japan.
