Colloquio
Had two interviews, first with an internal recruiter, then with the tech lead. Both interviewers were nice and the interviews were pleasant. Unluckily, the tech interview asked a bunch of questions I didn't remember from my undergrad OS class, and which didn't seem relevant to the job.
Had I passed the tech interview the next steps would have been a take home, another tech interview covering SQL with the team, and a behavioral interview with a VP.

This was for the role of a backend Python senior software engineer. I was contacted by an internal recruiter who sent me an untimed take-home exercise and later scheduled an on-site interview. I felt reasonably well qualified for the position but did not receive an offer. Their stack for this position uses Python 2.7, Django, PostgreSQL via Django, Celery, and a message broker.

In Python, in an "if" statement, how would you check if something is None? What is the difference between "if foo is None" and "if foo == None" and why would you prefer one over the other?
