How do I ask for a raise?
Hello, One of the developers is leaving my team and the company is planning to handover her work to me in addition to what I have been doing currently. Although I can do that, I also want them to increase my pay. How can I ask for this?

Are you sure it's purely additive and there's no backfill coming? Because if you're working 8 hour days and she was working 8 hour days, you would now need to work 16 hour days. That's not feasible, no matter how much you're paid. When absorbing another engineer's scope, you generally need to deprioritize certain things.
