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.

Washington D.C. Business Pulse

Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
