Working across São Paulo and Istanbul

Calls between São Paulo and Istanbul usually connect finance and manufacturing on one side with textiles and construction on the other. Istanbul runs 6 hours ahead of São Paulo.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, São Paulo typically 09:00–18:00 and Istanbul 09:00–18:00 local time. Watch for Carnival (Monday to Ash Wednesday, February or March) and Tiradentes Day (21 April) in São Paulo and Ramadan Feast (end of Ramadan, three days) and Sacrifice Feast (four days, roughly 70 days later) in Istanbul. Replies slow in São Paulo during Carnival week and the turn of the year and in Istanbul during the Sacrifice Feast week.

The shared window is short: 09:00–11:00 São Paulo time, 15:00–17:00 in Istanbul. Guard it for the conversations that need everyone, and let the rest happen in writing. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
