PST to EST Conversion
Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8) trails Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) by exactly 3 hours. Noon in Los Angeles is 3:00 PM in New York. Because both coasts enter and leave daylight saving together, the gap never changes: PDT vs EDT is the same 3 hours.

Coast to Coast Scheduling
The usable overlap is roughly 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific against noon to 8:00 PM Eastern. Daily standups usually land at 9:00 AM PST / 12:00 PM EST: early enough for the East Coast to have context, late enough that the West Coast is online.
Common Use Cases
- Remote standups: 9:00 AM PST is the classic slot, noon for New York
- Market hours: NYSE 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST means 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM PST
- Broadcasts: an 8:00 PM EST premiere airs at 5:00 PM PST, before West Coast dinner
