Dallas Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, direct, and ambitious. Big focus on finance and tech.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Business in Texas is often bold and fast-paced. Directness is appreciated, but it should be accompanied by a friendly, confident tone. The Central Time Zone position makes it a powerful hub for national business coordination.
Shanghai Business Pulse
- Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
- Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
