Best time for work calls
If you are scheduling a call between San José and New York City, the overlap window is limited to typical business hours. When it is 9 am in San José it is 11 am in New York City — a workable window for scheduling. The latest reasonable overlap is around 3 pm in San José (5 pm in New York City). Outside this window there is effectively no good overlap for regular office hours.
Best time for family calls
San José and New York City have a comfortable window for a family call — no awkward alarms required. San José is 2 hours behind New York City, which gives you about an hour of genuine overlap when both sides are free. Aim for between 6 pm and 7 pm in San José — that lands at 8 pm to 9 pm in New York City, after the school run and before anyone's ready for bed. For a Sunday catch-up or a midweek check-in, this is the sweet spot.
