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.
Sydney Business Pulse
- Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
