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.

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.
