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.

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.
