Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between Austin and Ho Chi Minh City?
Austin is 12 hours behind of Ho Chi Minh City: UTC-5 versus UTC+7. Both figures include any daylight saving currently in force.
What is the best time to call from Austin to Ho Chi Minh City?
There is no hour that is comfortable for both. If the meeting is unavoidable, the least-bad options are the edges of each side's day — late morning in Austin or early morning in Ho Chi Minh City — and the burden should be explicit rather than assumed.
Is there any way to make Austin–Ho Chi Minh City meetings work?
Not through scheduling. With no overlap, the workable options are async written handoffs, recorded updates, or splitting coverage into two regional pods so that each pod works its own daylight hours.
