Austin Business Pulse

  • Culture Innovation-focused, casual, and energetic. The "Silicon Hills" values speed and creativity.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual-professional vibe (lots of tech-casual wear). Technical competence and speed are highly valued. Central Time makes it easy to sync with both US coasts. Networking is a major part of the local business culture.

Sydney Business Pulse

  • Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
