Abidjan Business Pulse

Culture Formal, relationship-heavy, and the economic powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. French is the primary business language; ensure you are fluent or have translation for technical talks. Personal relationships are vital. Hierarchy is respected, and a professional, polite tone is essential for success.

San Francisco Business Pulse

Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
