Philadelphia Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, direct, and values heritage and education.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Philadelphians are known for being direct and hardworking. The city is a major hub for healthcare, biotech, and research; technical expertise and clear, data-backed arguments are highly valued in professional discussions.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
