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.
Portland Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
