Nearshore software development inBrazil
Brazil is the largest technology market in the region and the one where English is most likely to be the constraint: 75th on EF’s index, in the band it calls low. Broadband is strong and the working day lines up well with the United States east coast.
Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so the overlap here is the same all year.
The shared working day
Brazil and a buyer in New York
Computed over a 9-to-6 working day at both ends, against United States Eastern Time. The two halves of the year are shown separately because the difference is real: the United States observes daylight saving and most of the region no longer does.

How this page is built
Named sources
Every figure carries the source it was read from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated.
Published methodology
The scale, the gates and the thresholds are generated by the scoring engine itself, so what you read is what ran.
Declared gaps
What we have not measured says so. It is never rendered as a zero or filled with a guess.
No paid placement
No provider can buy a listing, a position or a reconsideration. There is no advertising on this site.
