How was the adjustment in office/work culture between Spain and US for you?
Maybe I'm an ignorant American, but isn't work culture much more relaxed in Spain than much of the US? "Siestas" and all that?
No one takes siestas in a office job in Spain lol.
The job is more casual and friendly in America for sure. It can change between companies of course, but in general in Spain, there's a lot more consulting firms and less product oriented companies. So more PWC and similar.
In general the biggest adjustament has been the tme offset. There's 6h difference with most of the team, so I start late morning and end up late afternoon, which is a bit of a pain since you can really make effective use of the time. Since they are also all working when Im leaving, I very often have meetings or stuff making the day even longer, sometimes even late night, which sucks.
