Cape Town Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
Portland Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
