Munich Business Pulse
- Culture Efficient, formal, and values quality. Strong focus on engineering and tech.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "Golden Window" is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Bavarian business culture is formal and values high-quality engineering and precision. Be very well-prepared with technical details. Respect the local 8-4 or 9-5 workday strictly; calling after 5:30 PM is generally unprofessional.
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.
