After how long after symptoms did you have a positive LFT?

I have woken up today with a terrible headache and I feel ropey. Negative LFT.

I have a third stage in-person job interview on Tuesday. We had to do the first rounds online and they insisted to have an in-person final round. So I am wondering, if I tested negative today despite feeling sick, am I likely to test positive on Tuesday?

Haven't had Covid before as far as I know, and triple-jabbed....

It took about 4 days after my main symptom started (sore throat) before I got a positive LFT and PCR.

I am COVID positive on PCR but LFTs were still negative as of yesterday and that would be 4 days since symptoms started.

Woke up feeling ropey on Thursday about 3am so did a lateral and negative. Was just about to leave for work at 9am on the same day and felt even worse with a banging head so did another and instant strong positive. PCR came through positive this morning.
