Eastern Time (ET) to Eastern European Time (EET)
US tech companies increasingly partner with development teams in Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Greece. Kyiv and Bucharest have emerged as major outsourcing hubs, and New York-based product teams converting EST to EET for sprint planning, code reviews, and client demos navigate a 7-hour gap that is workable but requires intentional scheduling around the overlap window.

Scheduling Tips
- Schedule meetings between 9:00-11:00 AM EST / 4:00-6:00 PM EET for the widest overlap during both teams' core hours.
- Avoid scheduling past 11:00 AM EST -- that is 6:00 PM EET and pushes into personal time in Eastern Europe.
- Watch the March and late October DST transition weeks when the offset temporarily shifts to 6 hours. Recurring meetings may silently move by an hour.
