Are 'ghost jobs' still a thing this year? I’ve seen some of these jobs posted for 6+ months with 1,000+ applicants. Is it worth applying, or is it just data-scraping? I genuinely can't tell the difference between a genuine post and a scam.

I tend to decide which ones to avoid based on vibes. 6+ months and 1000+ applications would be a no-go for me, it just sounds like a waste of time. But sometimes I'll see things posted several times and apply anyway because it could be the same employer hiring for multiple positions.

Everything in context. There are some seasonal jobs right now for tax season that have been open for months and probably have the same (if not more) applicants. Still worth it to apply in that scenario.

This year is only a couple weeks old, and I am sure that ghost jobs are not going away any time soon. Same for scams.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
