San Francisco Business Pulse
- Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
Taipei Business Pulse
- Culture High-tech and efficient. Values both modern innovation and traditional professional respect.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Taipei is a major global tech hub; expect high professional standards and efficiency. Hierarchy is respected, but the culture is increasingly globalized. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window.
