I am a huge proponent of always making sure you are making what you feel you are worth for the company. When I made my leap to Sr I ended up asking for double the raise they gave me and got it bc I knew I was worth it to the company.

With all of that said I do think the COVID-19 crisis does put a little bit of a damper on things and you have to be sensitive to that. If I was in your position I personally would wait until things settle down. In the meantime, maybe try to take some time off for yourself. I am not sure what your company policy is for time off but rather than pushing for more money bc you are doing more work, take some time for yourself as a reward for your hard work since you don't have the extra money right now.

Hope that helps and good luck with whatever you choose!!!
