Hours labelled in Dhaka local time.
No shared hours. A standard Dhaka workday and a standard Austin workday never coincide, which is why the bar above is empty. The table below shows how close the two get.

Heads up: only one of these cities has an upcoming daylight-saving change, so the gap between them will shift. Any recurring meeting will move by an hour for one side unless you re-check it after that date.
Best time to call Austin from Dhaka
A standard 9:00–17:00 day in Dhaka does not intersect a standard day in Austin at all. Austin is 11 hours behind Dhaka. Whoever joins the call is stepping outside their working hours, so the fair thing is to alternate who takes the inconvenient slot.
The least disruptive options are the edges: early morning in Dhaka before Austin finishes for the evening, or late afternoon in Dhaka once Austin is starting the next day. Anything in the middle lands in someone's night.
Cross-timezone workday overlap and collaboration
With so little shared time, Dhaka and Austin work best as an asynchronous pair with one synchronous exception. Write decisions down as they are made rather than saving them for a call, because the next chance to talk is a day away.
Treat the gap as a handoff rather than a delay. Whoever finishes first should leave the next step written down and unambiguous; 11 hours later the other side picks it up without needing to ask a question that would cost another full day.
Watch for fatigue on recurring meetings. A weekly call that sits at the very edge of someone's evening is tolerable once and corrosive after a month. If the only workable slot is uncomfortable for one side, rotate it, or accept that the meeting should be a document instead.
Practical rules for this pairing
- Rotate who takes the out-of-hours call, rather than defaulting to the same side every week.
- Move status updates into writing entirely — there is no hour where a live update is cheap for both sides.
- If the pairing is permanent, a split shift on one side buys back a real overlap.
Frequently asked questions (Dhaka & Austin)
What is the current time difference between Dhaka and Austin?
Austin is 11 hours behind Dhaka. That gap is calculated from the live IANA time zone database, so it already accounts for whichever daylight-saving rules are in force today rather than assuming a fixed offset.
What is the best window for a one-hour team sync between Dhaka and Austin?
There is no window where a standard 9:00–17:00 day in Dhaka overlaps one in Austin, so a one-hour sync has to sit outside someone's working hours. Alternate which side absorbs it, or replace the meeting with a written handoff.
Do Dhaka and Austin change their clocks on the same date?
No. Austin changes its clocks on Sun, Nov 1, while Dhaka has no upcoming change. The difference between the two cities shifts by 60 minutes on that date.
How many hours do Dhaka and Austin actually share in a working day?
None. A standard 9:00–17:00 day in Dhaka and the same in Austin do not intersect, which is why teams spanning these two cities usually adopt a split shift on one side.
