- 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.
San Francisco Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
