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.
Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
