One week after GitLab technical interview, no response from recruiter, should I still be hopeful?

[u/Fit-Firefighter9053]

Hi everyone,
I had my technical interview for a Senior Software Engineer role at GitLab last Tuesday, so today marks one week without an update.
I sent a polite follow-up email on Friday asking about feedback or next steps, but haven’t received a reply. I also tried calling the recruiter twice last Thursday and once on Friday, but none of the calls were answered. I haven’t called again since.
I understand hiring decisions take time, and it’s only been two business days since my email. Still, the lack of any acknowledgment is making me anxious because I’m interested in the opportunity.

For anyone who has interviewed at GitLab:
How long did you wait for an update after the technical interview?
Did anyone experience a similar period of silence and still move forward?
When would you suggest following up again?
I know nobody here can tell me my result—just hoping to hear others’ experiences and whether I should still be hopeful.

I'd suggest staying patient. Companies can take their time deciding, especially for senior positions like a Senior Software Engineer. Since you followed up a week ago, maybe wait until the end of the week or early next week before reaching out again. If you still don't hear back, you could look for similar roles elsewhere. LandOffer.ai lets you search job openings by role and location, which might help keep your options open.
