San Francisco’s job market is crowded with credentialed, well-prepared candidates. At Google, Salesforce, Uber, Airbnb, and the region’s leading startups, the bar is high and the process is structured. Our coaches have hired at these companies. They know what separates the candidates who get offers.
Success Stories
"My coach pushed me harder in our mock sessions than my actual Google interviewers did. By the time I walked in, I was bulletproof."
"I got the job! The package is $180K a year plus a signing bonus. The specific framework Lewis's team taught me was the only reason I passed the final loop."
"Worth every single penny. The ability to practice with an actual former hiring manager erased all of my anxiety and helped me land my dream role."
The Challenge
The Bay Area bar is different.
Hiring loops in San Francisco are longer, more structured, and more competitive than almost anywhere else. At top tech companies and growth-stage startups alike, candidates are evaluated on behavioral depth, product thinking, and how clearly they tell their story under pressure.
General preparation isn’t enough. Our coaches give you specific feedback on structure, delivery, and the exact signals interviewers here respond to.
How We Help
Lewis C. Lin
Work directly with Lewis — the author, the methodology, the hiring manager who built this. For senior candidates and those who want the source, not the system.
Impact Interview Coach
Trained directly in Lewis's methodology and feedback framework. Two structured sessions with diagnostic mock interview and full rehearsal — built for the competitive, multi-round hiring loops common in San Francisco.
Built by Someone Who's Been on Both Sides
Lewis C. Lin spent years as a hiring manager at Google and Microsoft before founding Impact Interview in 2009. He knows what interviewers write down — and what makes them pass. Every session, framework, and piece of feedback on this platform is built on that experience.
