Seattle Business Pulse
- Culture Tech-heavy, casual, and values innovation and nature.
- 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.
Tianjin Business Pulse
- Culture Major port city. Practical, industrial, and trade-oriented.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As a major northern port, business is practical and industrial. Close ties with Beijing mean a similar emphasis on hierarchy and formal protocol. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch break and major public holidays.
