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.

Washington D.C. Business Pulse

Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
