Why people convert Ethiopia to AEST time

Scheduling a call from Ethiopia to AEST: a 10:00 AM start in Ethiopia lands at 5:00 PM in AEST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Ethiopia and AEST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM EAT time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM AEST). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Ethiopia is 3:00 AM in AEST makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM EAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Ethiopia and need AEST colleagues present.
