Dubai Business Pulse
- Culture International and multicultural. Sunday is a standard working day, while Friday is often a half-day or holiday.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The traditional UAE work week is Monday to Friday, but many local businesses and government entities may have shorter hours on Fridays (ending around 12:00 PM). Sunday is no longer a weekend for most, but always verify your contact's specific schedule as multicultural teams vary.
Vienna Business Pulse
- Culture Formal and respects titles. Business is often conducted with a touch of old-world charm.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Austrian business culture is formal; use professional titles (Herr/Frau + Title) until specifically asked to do otherwise. While it may feel slower-paced than NYC, it is highly organized and values long-term stability over quick wins.
