Eastern European Time (EET) to Eastern Time (ET)
The growing Eastern European tech corridor -- Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece -- increasingly serves US East Coast clients. Kyiv and Bucharest are major outsourcing hubs, and the 7-hour gap with New York is the daily scheduling reality. Like CET-EST, mismatched DST dates in March and October/November create transition-week surprises.

Scheduling Tips
- Schedule meetings between 3:00-6:00 PM EET / 8:00-11:00 AM EST for the best overlap during both teams' core hours.
- Avoid scheduling before 2:00 PM EET -- that is 7:00 AM EST, which is early for many US teams.
- Watch the March and late October DST transition weeks. Your recurring 4:00 PM EET call might land at 10:00 AM instead of 9:00 AM EST for 2-3 weeks in March, or about 1 week in late October.
- For async workflows, have the Eastern European team push code reviews and updates by 6:00 PM EET so the US team can review starting at 11:00 AM EST.
