Baghdad Business Pulse

Culture Relationship-heavy and traditional. Resilient entrepreneurial spirit.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Business is deeply personal; you must invest time in building trust ("Wasta"). Be patient, respectful of traditional values, and avoid rushing into technical business details until a personal rapport is established.

New York City Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
