Singapore serves as the Asia-Pacific headquarters for many US West Coast tech companies. Google, Meta, and scores of SaaS startups have major engineering and business offices in Singapore, making the PST–SGT corridor a daily reality for thousands of workers.
Singapore Time is UTC+8 with no daylight saving time. Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8, moving to PDT (UTC−7) in summer. The standard gap is 16 hours: 9 AM Monday in San Francisco is 1 AM Tuesday in Singapore. During PDT the gap shrinks to 15 hours.
Effective overlap requires one side to flex. A 6–8 PM Pacific call lands at 10 AM–noon the next day in Singapore — the only window within normal hours for both. Many teams rely on asynchronous handoffs with a single weekly live meeting in this slot.
