Geneva Business Pulse
- Culture International, diplomatic, and highly precise. Home to many global NGOs and finance.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality and formal protocol are non-negotiable in this international diplomatic hub. Ensure your communication is organized, clear, and respects established hierarchies. Avoid calling during the 12-1:30 PM lunch slot.
Los Angeles Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and networking-heavy. Influenced by the entertainment and tech industries.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings are often spent dealing with East Coast syncs; domestic LA calls are best between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The culture is more casual than NYC, but still very results-oriented. Traffic is the ultimate local variable; virtual meetings are the standard for avoiding commute-related delays.
