Dublin Business Pulse
- Culture Tech-heavy, friendly, and relationship-driven. A major European hub for global tech giants.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Irish business culture is famous for being friendly and relational ("The gift of the gab"); always take time for personal rapport before diving into the agenda. Mid-week calls are typically the most productive.
San Francisco Business Pulse
- Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
