Melbourne Business Pulse

Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.

San Francisco Business Pulse

Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
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.
