Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
Toronto Business Pulse
- Culture Multicultural, polite, and professional. Similar to NYC but generally more reserved.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Canadians value punctuality and a polite, reserved professional tone. It is similar to NYC but with slightly more emphasis on consensus and less on aggressive directness. Avoid calling after 4:30 PM when the work day is concluding.
