Barcelona Business Pulse
- Culture Dynamic, creative, and highly international. Values both innovation and local Catalan culture.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling during the 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM lunch break. Best times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Barcelona is an international tech and design hub; the vibe is professional but creative. Relationship building is important, and a warm, engaged tone is appreciated.
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.
