Reykjavik Business Pulse

Culture Informal, egalitarian, and values innovation and work-life balance.

Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Icelandic business culture is very informal and flat; do not worry about titles. Efficiency and honesty are highly valued. Punctuality is appreciated but the vibe is relaxed. Avoid calling late in the afternoon or on weekends strictly.

Seattle Business Pulse

Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.
