Vancouver Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional but influenced by the West Coast lifestyle. Values sustainability.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Vancouver is a major hub for tech and entertainment; the vibe is professional but often more relaxed than Toronto or NYC. Like Seattle, it has a strong coffee culture and values a healthy work-life balance.

Zurich Business Pulse

  • Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
