Kuala Lumpur Business Pulse

Culture Multicultural and professional. Values harmony and respect.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Longer on Fridays).
Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. On Fridays, avoid the 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM window due to congregational prayers. Malaysia is multicultural (Malay, Chinese, Indian); be respectful of varying religious observances and holidays. Business is generally professional, polite, and consensus-oriented.

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.
