Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
Paris Business Pulse
- Culture Values work-life balance and high-quality debate. Business lunches can be longer than in NYC or London.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; this "sacred" lunch window is for refueling and relationship building. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the most productive for reaching senior management. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
