Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Santiago and Nassau?
Santiago and Nassau share the same offset (GMT-4), so there's no difference right now.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 8 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
