Bucharest Business Pulse

  • Culture Energetic, polyglot, and tech-focused. Rapidly growing as a European service hub.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Romanians are generally very multilingual (English is the standard for tech) and professional. Business culture values personal rapport; a warm but professional tone is the most effective for long-term collaboration.

Istanbul Business Pulse

  • Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
