Top Dev quit, all responsibilities falling on me, should I ask for a raise? /u/Lanky-Ad4698 CSCQ protests reddit

Cross functional team, tech side was super lean.

Me, another regular dev, and top dev that has now left.

This top dev had lots of breath, but no depth. So everything is on fire now that he left, projects on hold, bugs everywhere cause of him…

Other dev and me are overburdened now by everything. I am now designated as lead for some of these projects.

We are trying to hire someone permanent, but this is going to take a while. So to lower the barrier and get some a bit quicker a bit we are looking for short term contractor to get some critical projects out.

But all the while this is happening, should I ask for compensation increase? My accountability, replies, and workload has like 5x..
