So four hours of overlap with a New York team means working until about 9 pm or later. Lagos shares working hours with London for much of the year. Manila overlaps well with Sydney and Singapore.
Decide what you can keep up for years, not weeks. Count family, power supply and commute, especially if you also study or work locally. Your number of overlap hours decides which listings you apply to in the next stage.
