  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The "sweet spot" for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Be extremely patient with technical issues (power/internet) and have a backup plan like WhatsApp. Lagosians are very entrepreneurial; if you reach them, expect a fast-paced and pragmatic conversation.

Paris Business Pulse

  • Culture Values work-life balance and high-quality debate. Business lunches can be longer than in NYC or London.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; this "sacred" lunch window is for refueling and relationship building. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the most productive for reaching senior management. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
