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.

Portland Business Pulse

Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
