Phoenix Business Pulse

  • Culture Practical and influenced by the tech and aerospace sectors.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Always double-check the time! Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so its offset with the rest of the US changes twice a year. Reach out between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The culture is practical and direct, typical of the growing Mountain West tech hub.

Sofia Business Pulse

  • Culture Energetic, tech-focused, and increasingly international. A growing hub for IT and services.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Bulgarians value personal rapport; a warm but professional tone is effective. The tech sector is very globalized and efficient. Punctuality is appreciated. Be prepared for direct and honest communication once trust is established.
