Amsterdam Business Pulse
- Culture Egalitarian, direct, and values work-life balance. Hierarchy is minimized.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. The Dutch are famously direct; be prepared for honest, blunt feedback. They value efficiency and a pragmatic approach. Respect the 9-5 work day; unless it's an emergency, do not call after hours as work-life balance is strictly protected.
Melbourne Business Pulse
- Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.
