[All questions](https://jobicy.com/q.md) CC Cameron Collins asked the community # Should I follow up after a remote role goes silent? [Job Search](https://jobicy.com/question-category/job-search.md) Asked 29 Jul 2026 Active 30 Jul 2026 [Write an answer](#answer-form-container) [Log in to vote](https://jobicy.com/enter4715.php.md) Question details I completed a second interview for a distributed operations role last Tuesday, and the hiring manager said I would hear back by the end of this week. It is now Monday, and the job posting is still live, but I have not received an update. I sent a brief thank-you note after the interview, so I do not want to seem pushy. Should I send a follow-up now, and what should I ask without sounding like I am assuming a decision has been made?

Say, “I’m still very interested and wanted to see whether there’s an updated timeline.” Then continue applying. Did they specify a time zone or business day for Friday?
