Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Brisbane is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Bucharest.
Plan around 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Brisbane, which is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Bucharest, to catch everyone during office hours. Bucharest is 8 hours behind Brisbane. That's only 2 hours of overlap, so pair live calls with async follow-ups to make the most of it. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Bucharest observes it, Brisbane doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.

The US to Australia gap runs 14 to 19 hours depending on the month, and someone is always in tomorrow. Exact overlap windows for every US coast, the double-DST trap, and a rotation rule that keeps it fair. -
