Before the holidays I had an interview with the hiring manager who said they would get back with next steps. Is this a polite way of saying they are not interested, should I follow up, is it too soon

I’m not a recruiter but you should absolutely follow up. What have you got to lose? Make it casual.

Follow up! The holidays are a crazy time and everyone is probably still getting caught up. Always good to get on their radar. Plus, it shows that you’re serious and very interested in the position.

Follow up.

No, it's not a polite way to say they're not interested but it's not a sure indication that they are, either. Yes, you should absolutely follow up and no, it's not too soon - perfect timing second week after the holidays. Good luck

Follow up. Absolutely.

I followed up but no response from either Hiring Manager or Recruiter. Oh well, onto the next.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Follow up! While recruiters want/ need to lead this they are human and things do fall between the crack. Also giving bad news sucks as much as getting it so they be nervous or unskilled in delivering

You should definitely follow up - but, that’s exactly what DDB Paris HR told me, years ago. Never made it over.

In a meeting we a client, we were looking at a stock image of a smiling Black man holding a baseball bat while wearing a hoodie. The client comments that it’s the wrong way to hold a bat. Cool. But, then follows up and says, “Also, he just looks aggressive. Like, this person would definitely attack me and my family.” I was shocked. But, apparently, I was the only one. Because everyone else on the call laughed. They were all white except for my partner who is Mexican. But, he still chuckled.

I am in need of some serious advice.
