About these time zones
UTC. UTC never changes for daylight saving, which is why servers, logs and deadlines are often written in it. Any change in the gap comes from the other zone.
PST. Pacific Time is PST (UTC-8) in winter and PDT (UTC-7) in summer, on the same US daylight saving dates as Eastern Time. It covers Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver.
Overlap. There is no hour that falls inside a 9 to 5 working day in both zones, so one side has to meet early or late. Early morning in one zone and early evening in the other is usually the least painful option.
