She’s going to say “apply when you can put your best foot forward”. She doesn’t have any further insight than that.

Take C1s advice with a grain of salt. I used a consultant and am 100% certain she's the reason I'm at W now.

Short answer to your question is no. Use the 30 minutes to see if you jive with the person. Find out if they tell you what you want to hear or actually push your thinking. (Hint: the latter is what you want to find)

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
