I applied to a new city government position in July of 2022. I received an invite to do a zoom interview in early November where the team said they were having trouble getting the new position organized and financed and they finally did. Then I did an in person interview with a presentation on December 15th where the team said they were trying to make a decision by the end of the year. On December 20th I was then sent a reference check link to a survey to send to my references and they all filled out their part. Since the reference check it has been radio silence (today is December 30th) I am agonizingly waiting on this decision so should I wait until after the new year to contact the interviewer or am I likely not getting the job and should disregard this job?
