Frankfurt Business Pulse
- Culture Finance-focused, international, and very direct.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times are 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Frankfurt is the financial heart of the Eurozone; business is fast-paced, direct, and international. Be concise, professional, and data-focused. Punctuality is non-negotiable, and responses are expected to be efficient.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
