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.
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.
